Quoting AlphaF:

Try "my homework ate my dog, and now has to sleep it off" as an alternative....It will gain you some time


I will keep that in mind next time I need an excuse.

Quoting Roswitha:

What innovation of genious did Sinan incorporate into his Minbar of Sokullu Pasa Camii design?



In this late stage of his life, Sinan tried to create unified and sublimely elegant interiors. To achieve this, he eliminated all the unnecessary subsidiary spaces beyond the supporting piers of the central dome. This can be seen in the Sokollu Mehmet Paşa mosque in Istanbul (1571-1572) and in the Selimiye mosque in Edirne. In other buildings of his final period, Sinan experimented with spatial and mural treatments that were new in the classical Ottoman architecture.
