Step away from Today for 30 Seconds and revel in this Irrelevant Arcanity [View all]

Who’s Bob? “Bobs your Uncle” means “you’ve got it made.” The mainly British saying may have stemmed from the actions of Lord Robert Cecil, 3rd Marguess of Salisbury, a late 19th Century Prime Minister famous for Nepotism involving his nephew.

Aren’t you glad you clicked? And is Irrelevant Arcanity Oxymoronish? And isn’t it nice to step away from today on occasion?

Info compliments of the 2024 Old Farmers Almanac.
