Wisdom? It’s my middle name.

Irish folklore has it that the Salmon of Knowledge, named Fintan, learned everything that he knew by eating the 9 hazelnuts that had fallen from the nine hazel trees above the Well of Wisdom in which he lived. The poet Finn Eces spent seven long years trying to catch the elusive fish. When he did eventually land it, he asked his servant, Fionn McCumhaill, to cook the fish but not to eat any of it.
