HISTROPHY - THE DULL AGES

THE DULL AGES (NULL TIME) Contrary to it's misleading title, The Dull Ages were when most things were either invented or discovered by a lot of extremely talented, forward-thinking islanders. Peoples' eyes were generally shinier and more full of hope, the air was cooler and softer, and everything was much, much cheaper. Some key figures from The Dull Ages: Jooberry Hink: A local to Brownlap Parish, Jooberry was the first man to come up with the seventh valve, which has since revolutionised ditch-making and upper-field irrigation systems. He also invented the curve. Udge Sussidge: Udge was a beautiful woman and simply inspired people with her incredible beauty. She didn't really do anything. She just sat around. She was both the inspiration for the song 'David's Chair' and the 'Bun-Cluster Cake'. Ultimately people got irritated with her for not doing anything and 'bun cluster' became a derogatory term. Pelter Enfold: Pelter discovered footsteps and put the knowledge to good use. Greena Roosh: A resident of Nool Parish, until her eventual expulsion. Creator of the first convex curtain as well as the self-washing fig.
