the past is a foreign alphabet

Though the drawn-around outline of the scissors apparently used to cut the paper to paper the wall which we painted over when we moved in and which we removed in order to get the wall replastered after we moved out was quite interesting the mildly historically fascinating nature of the text makes it win. Hopefully by this time next week it'll have been replaced by some nice pinkly-dry plaster, hopefully without any radiator pipes being bent back from any walls or too much dust being wafted into the kitchen whence it will just have to be cleaned. As well as the drawn-around scissors, the information above and some more writing nearby which is virtually unintelligible there was also a large mark painted on the wall which resembles the character pi but possibly only coincidentally as it lacks the flick on the right-hand stalk which which the lower-case and slopier-sided character is usually represented. If we find the plasterer lying murdered on the floor in a pool of blood and dried plaster mix with additional characters from the alphabets of ancient languages carved into his forehead with a pair of large wallpaper scissors then it might be worth further investigation but can probably otherwise disappear into the past unsolved and unrecorded except for a couple of tweets and twitpics.
