More From William Osler

Remember, that money is of the prolific, generating nature. money can beget money, and its offspring can beget more, and so on. five shillings turned is six, turned again it is seven and threepence, and so on, till it becomes a hundred pounds. the more there is of it, the more it produces every turning, so that the profits rise quicker and quicker. he that kills a breeding sow, destroys all her offspring to the thousandth generation. he that murders a crown, destroys all that it might have produced, even scores of pounds.

Hero Gun Voice
The desire to get married, which - i regret to say, i believe is basic and primal in women - is followed almost immediately by an equally basic and primal urge - which is to be single again.

We regret the insinuation that mr. alex trebek is a robot, and has been since 2004. mr. trebek's robotic frame does still contain some organic parts, many harvested from patriotic canadian schoolchildren, so this technically makes him a 'cyborg,' not a 'robot.'
