Irish Science Pillows
Description: Callahan’s Place is a fictional neighborhood tavern that is part of the Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon stories and its sequels. Located off Route 25A on New York’s Long Island, Callahan’s is marked by a single sign and is set back from the road far enough to be easily missed. Due to the location, walk-ins are rare, as people generally don’t find Callahan’s unless they need to. The bar is run by Mike Callahan and the regulars are welcoming and willing to listen, and strange or unusual events and visitors turn up frequently in their stories. Regulars at Callahan’s include a talking dog, extraterrestrials, time travelers, an ethical vampire, Irish mythological beings, and cybernetic aliens, and an obscenity-spewing parrot.
Description: Megaloceros giganteus otherwise known as the Irish Elk, one of the largest deer species in the fossil record. Measuring 6.9 feet, with the largest antlers of any deer species, measuring 12 feet in width. Despite it’s name it was not exclusively native to Ireland, nor was it actually an elk. Most of the best and most complete specimens were found in Ireland, with some of the antlers winding up on the walls in medieval castles. Megaloceros lived during the Middle pleistocene to the early holocene 0.781 – 0.008 million years ago.
