Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged.  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

No amount of belief makes something a fact.  -James Randi, magician and skeptic

Dark chocolate is it for me.  I eat some every day but I do not overindulge.  Well, once in a while...

 

I make a gluten-free chocolate cake with a dark chocolate ganache topping  every week and we eat small pieces once a day.

 

(We finally came to the conclusion that Ed does not have a gluten intolerance, but I really like the recipe.)

It ain't necessarily so.

 

Anyone with a UK public library card gets free access and many educational institutions offer it free on site to those who have access.

 

Quote

Many public, university, and institutional libraries worldwide also subscribe to the OED, so talk to your librarian to find out if you have access.
