That's inspired, I must admit! (But remember, Stalin decided, in His infinite wisdom, that language has nothing to do with politics.)


of course not. those words were CONSTRUCTED by the Benedictins, they are
based on the One Language, and in fact were planted in the
"Indo-European" lexicons so that much later a despot would use them to
make himself a nickname. the word had to be spread all over eurasia
because they couldn't know up front were the despot will be born.


Devilishly clever!

Surely the sort of thing that would be attributed rather to the Jesuits
or Dominicans, no, while the Benedictines calmy distill their brandy?

But what about the brand-new Benedict XVI, the former Ratzi the Nazi? The Benedictines are more devious than we imagined.
