This is not the most serious link you have provided, Peter.

But one very old lady said this morning that
most of us are under 50, and for those this
is serious stuff.

"They say it takes a village to raise a child, but it takes a viking
to raze a village!"

Somehow, I never pictured the roof of a Viking longhouse as being
bright red.

One is never too old to 'gain new knowledge of
humanity's past cultures', Alan
And as a wellknown philosopher said: "The one
who played with the wrong toys is not educated,
he is misled."


Interesting word, "misled". Many people think that it's a compound of
"mis" and "lead" but it's actually the past participle of the verb
"misle", meaning 'drizzle':


dridle ?
