The On-Going Adventures of Magnus Magnetico
Anon, Magnus was wandering along. I know, I shall pay a visit to that interesting Dolmen over yonder that is verily topping that hill.
Customarily in these type biographical accounts, the hero, in a similar situation, walks along for several days and never gets much closer to the landmark, his desired destination. Eventually though, he fetches upon the landmark, abetted by divine intervention.
However, Magnus just hiked on over to the dolmen, making good progress. How did Magnus make such good progress? Easy that, Magnus was young and frisky. The hill was blessed with a gentle slope. Thus, the Force of Upup, set against Magnus, was slight.
Over to the dolmen hiked Magnus, arriving scarcely winded. There stood the dolmen, a fairly big one. Magnus set to work. First he cleared some space in his noggin. Then he labeled the empty space, Dolmen - Discovered by Magnus - Day 1, DY -2257.
Yes. That’s right, Magnus was given time off, all day, from child labor on Polar Bear Solstice Day. That’s because none of the Druids wanted to supervise the child laborers on a holiday.
Next, Magnus configured a map, indicating how to get from the sacrificial mall to the dolmen, including all the landmarks he could still remember.
Finally, Magnus memorized a great many, perhaps a tousand or maybe two tousand, details relevant to the dolmen, including some actual measurements. Magnus made mental note of the soil the dolmen stood in, all the plant species found within 10m of the dolmen, all the insects found within that 10m circle, all the birds that sang, all the beasts that walked upon four feet, all the beasts that slithered upon no feet or many feet, too many to count, the community, the association, the biome, the weather, the climate, the ecosphere, the niche, the habitat, the lichens, the fungi, the child molesters.
Whoa! Child molesters!!!!
