Meanwhile, yesterday, I read this:

"One day in the middle of the twelfth century, a fishmonger brought fresh
fish to sell in the market outside the old church. A free citizen of the
city [Zamora, Spain--w.s.] chose a trout for his dinner. The servant of one
of the nobles grabbed it and said he wanted it for his master, who had
precedence. The ensuing argument did not end until there was a full-scale
war with Portugal, known ever since as El Motín de la Trucha, the mutiny of
the trout.*

It appears that people will forever find reasons to kill one
another......and it doesn't take much of a reason.
