Seeing old holdovers like “Lorem ipsum” is so cool, I think.
Some random thing that echoes down the years, like Pompeii grafitti, or calling residents of Liverpool “Liverpudlians”, a relic of an old wheeze: Liver-puddle. It really personalizes the past– a handprint in the sidewalk of Time.
Jesus’ pun in the Bible: “Thou art Peter, and on this rock…”
pcolli, what do you mean, “The father of the medium”? Nostradamus wasn’t born until 45 years after Gutenberg’s death, and in a different country to boot. Well, not ‘to boot’, it was France, not Italy, but ‘at that’.

Good old Gutenberg. The father of the medium. Pity we didn’t understand a word he said.

One of the reasons I love Pab’s work is that it sets off such a dazzling display among his literati followers.

Very true that many valid points are made here, and I love to follow my own little path.
