Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
Delightfully, the actual Antikythera machine did about half-a-dozen such calculations (planets, moon, sun) all at once, displaying the results in at least two calendars. Probably a lego-ification of all of it would be too stiff to turn. But what a great little movie.

Hateful.
Oh John,
words don't actually *mean* things...
silly...
