Last semester i did a report in Children's Lit about the book The Wall. Last night on my way home from work Rusty Humphries mentioned the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia (which is something i would like to research). It got me thinking... as i recall, my last name is probably Polish or Slavic. Where did the name come from, what was it originally? So i Googled "origin of senko".
Senko means / is...
"Slovak: occupational name for a seller of hay, from seno, ‘hay’."
the name of an exhibit in Copenhagen, Denmark, that features videos in frames
the standard "solid spaghetti stick incense"
Huh, so my ancestors probably smoked hay, used incense to cover up the smell, and then painted psychodelic art. Lovely. (;
