We hope this post isn’t a sudden spasmodic effort that accomplishes nothing. The phrase ‘flash in the pan’ comes from the firing of the priming in the PAN of a flintlock musket without discharging the piece.

A Latin (Vulgate) reading of these windows. The enlarged first panel is the prophet Miriam/Marie/Mary in Hebrew, Latin and English respectively. Her Latin script calls for a Magnificat which the blessed Virgin composes in the next frame. Finally, the prophet Simeon holds the baby Jesus.

Mary Tyler Moore accidentally nailed a perfect trick shot in The Dick Van Dyke Show (1962)—on the FIRST take. It was supposed to be done by a pro, but she shocked everyone and pulled it off herself. Absolute legend. 🎱✨ #ClassicTV #FunFacts
