TIL Lord Byron was not allowed to keep his pet dog while he was at Trinity College. He kept a pet bear instead as there were no rules against having one. reddit/r/todayilearned/comments/29hzv5/til_lord_byron_was_not_allowed_to_keep_his_pet/ • Also known as the Air Bud Loophole. • Well theres no rules about dogs playing basketball in the guidebook. Hes in. • doesnt say much for the other players that a dog is a better option than they are. • But does he dribble? • doesnt need to when he has that sweet j • What an idiot. Keeping a wild animal on a populated college campus is only something a idiotic man would ever consider doing. • Poets! • Dead poets and their societies. Tsk, tsk. • Go hang out with some living, breathing poets...can be an interesting bunch...you should see AWP each year... • I wonder how his conversation with a new roommate went each year. • This is my bear. Please address all complaints to the bear. • Agreed. That is what happened. • The Byronic hero presents an idealised, but flawed character whose attributes include: great talent; great passion; a distaste for society and social institutions; a lack of respect for rank and privilege (although possessing both); being thwarted in love by social constraint or death; rebellion; exile; an unsavory secret past; arrogance; overconfidence or lack of foresight; and, ultimately, a self-destructive manner. These types of characters have since become ubiquitous in literature and politics. • Thanks, wikiwizard. • o-okay... • And he wasnt invited to the college parties because he would eat all the cupcakes. ┗┃・ ■ ・┃┛ Please like this post • OKcupid Visitors every day (30-200+ per day) OKvisits It is free
