Please use the comment thread on this page to mark the 450th anniversary of the Battle of Oosterweel—and to pursue a freewheeling, inherently off-topic discussion. This is the first trial in what may become a weekly feature.

Excepting the entreaty that you remain on topic, all of Slate’s usual commenting policies apply.
