What Russ pretended to research to get to maternity


Russ had to research pregnancy and childbirth and he pretended to access some obsbure aspect of monastic art (probably of the Cistercians)that is close to the keywords about delivery of human babies. What was that topic regarding monastic art that he spent some time on before going into pregancy research?

reply

The Norbertines (Premonstratesian) was the order he researched.

That makes sense. Premonstratensian would be near to pregnancy in the computer's memory banks. Unfortunately, Russ's ruse didn't work in his rush to get information on pregnancy and he got caught. While I am familiar with the Norbertines, I didn't know that they were also known as Premonstratensians. Thanks a lot!

The subject was innocuous and close enough alphabetically to premature birth that he could pretend it was an accident.
