A/N: Bit behind on these, but working on catching up.

Whilst at university, I had always thought Musgrave rather dull and lacking in the natural curiosity that I find essential in those I associate with. When I discovered that neither he, nor any of his ancestors, had bothered to investigate what was obviously a set of coded instructions, I gave up on him entirely. I have no time for idiots.

LOL! I saw a gif from the Grenada today on Tumblr and it really did make me think, "Really? No one, ever, ever in 400 years thought it might be some sort of map?"

It's just when they get to the bit with the number of paces in which direction, it's so obvious. I cannot believe no child ever thought 'hah, look, we have those two big trees, let's just do some measuring...'

Hee, I know, rite? Excellent! :)

And who can blame him?

Hahaha! Well, exactly.

I wondered the same thing when I watched that episode. Bravo.

They were really not subtle about being directions, not at all.

Seriously! No one ever actually tried following these instructions?! Spot on.

It baffles me. As a kid, I'd have investigated a Mysterious Family Thing like that so quickly, heads would have spun.
