What's up with you?

I should be making lunch or organizing things to go to our get-together this afternoon (just meeting up at EB's to watch "Hogfather" with her and ElvenGirl). But, laundry is in and I started to look at my genealogy stuff, and when I opened FamilySearch it came up to this page that I had left off with the other night: a scan of an 'old death record' (meaning it was copied from some old town record when Maine decided that records needed cleaning up). All this record gives me is that someone named Guptail died in 1792 in Lebanon, Maine. Cause of death: "Killed by Abbott." Not even a first name, age, any context at all for the person who died.

Eor, responding to me reading it aloud to him, said, "Could have been somebody named Abbott." I burst out laughing, because I suddenly envisioned wild, feral abbots roaming the countryside, and he said, "The robes! The robes!" But, as he said, we know Catholic schools back then could be pretty harsh, and it wasn't really a left-field response because hearing it aloud had not given him the context of it being a large 'A' and double 't' at the end.
