The earliest evidence found of the kind of glass furnace with what would come to be known as the “glory hole”—a furnace specially used to partially or completely reheat unfinished glass for the purpose of shaping or polishing it—comes from a 1023 A.D. manuscript by a Benedictine monk named Rabanus Maurus, depicting a glass furnace as a multilevel cylindrical structure

      I had to look it up!

  1. Or, maybe he is referencing it in his tattoo as a binary number for 1111111111 because he thinks he’s number ONE.

    1 × 29 = 512
    + 1 × 28 = 256
    + 1 × 27 = 128
    + 1 × 26 = 64
    + 1 × 25 = 32
    + 1 × 24 = 16
    + 1 × 23 = 8
    + 1 × 22 = 4
    + 1 × 21 = 2
    + 1 × 20 = 1
    The sum of these is 1023

    Also, it is divisible by 3, 11, 31, 33, 93 and 341 and can be prime factorized into 3×11×31.
