How would the Fatted Calf in biblical times have been prepared?

Would it have been gutted and cooked whole? Processed further into cuts? If the latter, what would these cuts have been at the time? What accoutrements and sides might it have been served with?

What skill names would make cool ship names?

I made [a mod for Starsector](https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=35557.0) that adds a bunch of Project Moon names as ship names.

Currently I've added as many EGO, Abnormalities, and musical references as I could find in a frantic night on the wikis, but I have decided some Limbus Skills and Characters are too baller not to include. These kinda include fixer office names.

However, there are a lot of them, so I will be taking suggestions.

Here are the new names I have already identified (Potential Spoilers, but these are really oblique)

Sprouting Bud
Moment’s Floral Breeze
Bloodsteeped Scent
Scattering Aroma
Coerced Judgement
Amoral Enactment
Self-Destructive Purge
Enough…
Harpoon of Obsession
Hour of the Hunt
Memorial Procession
O Dullahan
Lament, Mourn, and Despair
MY HAIR COUPOOOOOOOOOOONS
Enough is Enough
Let All Blossom Free
I Shall Impale
Laughters Shall Subside
I Wish to Open the Path
Answer Me
Carve the Path of a Lord
Yield My Flesh
Claim their Bones
Swordplay of the Homeland
Repressed Flesh
Exhibition Arrangements
My Precious Artwork
Undertake the Prescript
Prescript Granted, Prescript Woven
Night Awl
Firefist
Udjat

How much would a suit like the one described in "Shoppin' for Clothes" by The Coasters have cost?

Link for reference.

So this song caught my ear recently and I keep wondering just how high end such a suit would have been. The lead voice clearly can't afford it on a janitors wage, but how well off would he have needed to be to afford or at least get credit on a suit with the features discussed:

  • A shell of herringbone tweed
  • A collar of camel hair
  • Two solid gold buttons
  • Custom Cuffs
  • A "Cutaway Flap Over Twice"
  • The "Walking Short"

Has an English King ever force parliament to remain in session longer than it wanted?

So it seems like Prorogueing or Dissolving Parliament was not uncommon when kings were unhappy with what was being done or discussed, but in the case of Charles I's first couple parliaments I have the impression that he basically killed his own subsidy bills by preemptively dissolving the body before they could be brought forward. Would it have ever occurred to a king to essentially lock Parliament in Westminster until they finished a particular task?
