Beers & Books CCXIII – Tausendundeine Nacht*

One Thousand and One Nights*

* Well, Two Hundred and Eighty-Two Nights, but who would mind? After all, there are but 719 nights missing.

*Nun, Zweihundertzweiundachtzig Nächte, aber wen stört das schon? Es fehlen ja nur 719 Nächte.

    1. My copy is the excellent new translation of the oldest Arabic version published in 2004. A pleasure every now and then to spend "a night" in it. ;-)

  2. A German typograph's nightmare thus avoided by some artistic license.

    1. Ah, Lady Pipistrello, you just have to know how to explain it properly. ;-)

  3. You are way too obtuse for me to understand you tonight, but then I am somewhat pissed on Double Joker IPA (8.3%) and Innis & Gunn Irish Whiskey Barrel Stout (a pleasant way to be, it seems, at the moment...)

    1. Oh, I think I meant I was obtuse, not you. Who knows? Who cares. Drink up and sleep well to us all...

    2. Ah, Weißenoher Klosterbrauerei served me but 8,0% with its Bonator Doppelbock to chase a wee dram of Talisker. I suppose, though, your bottle of Double Joker does not contain 0,5 litre. Our intellectual spirits might, therefore, be on about the same level. Slainte!
