I'm guessing if you accept the water is actually holy, then you'd probably think twice about stealing it

Tiffany is the epitome of this phenomenon, to the point that it's named the Tiffany Problem

I'm really curious how you got that number? I guess eye sockets aren't counted, as topologically with how many of the tubes connect, it's probably something weird.

Everyone else read the last bit in the Mortal Kombat voice, right?

I want to agree with that post, as it's (generally) a point that bears repeating, but it's too close to a catch 22 that it undermines the point

I get essentially the same, although not being familiar with the references makes some parts unclear.

I'm assuming Michaelmas is a name, but maybe it's a celebration (like Christmas) and the word term here is implying the author's feelings about it.

Same with the Chancellor part. What does sitting in the hall mean? It's an Inn, so not in official capacity then? Is it a metaphor or common turn of phrase?

Is Holbern hill steep? Or is it a famously gentle hill? The use of "wonderful" here tripped me up at first too since it's so different from how we'd use it now.

What are chimney-pots? Are they just chimneys or something else?

Home bathrooms are single-occupancy, plus most people don't have the room. They're definitely beneficial for higher volume places as add much more capacity for less space, and act as an "express lane" of sorts.
