I'm reading section 14 and at some point Pliny writes:
"Who, pray, could have ever made such a discovery as this? And what, too, can be the meaning of this combination? Why, of all things in the world, was the toe of a horned owl made choice of?"
I mean, I'm glad he agrees that these "discoveries" sound strange, but really? "of all the things in the world" the horned owl is what impressed him the most?

After all of the rest that he has reported??? REALLY, NOW???Rapunzelina wrote: ↑March 23rd, 2021, 2:59 pm I'm reading section 14 and at some point Pliny writes:
