Latin Lesson at The Corner:
In his chapter on names in Romans and Aliens, J.P.V.D. Balsdon notes the following cognomina: Lofty (Maximus), Baldy (Glabrio), Warty (Verrucosus), Slowcoach (Cunctator), Wise-Guy (Corculum), and Glutton (Gurges). Colleen McCullough, in one of those splendid appendices to her Roman novels, explores the further shores, offering Never-Smiles (Agelastus), Buck-Toothed (Brocchus), Knock-Kneed (Vatia), and An-Arsehole-and-a-Half (Sesquiculus).

House plants for the rest of us.

when it started getting straggley or sickly, I'd cut off a branch and stick it in water: after it got a root, I'd pot it in dirt and throw away the old plant.
