Language Liberalism Freethought Birds
Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.
Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.
The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.
If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.
Wow. I am definitely impressed with Inspector Lestrade in Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon. Holmes called him on the phone and told him to trace a call made on his private line two nights before.

I used to teach Russian and Ukrainian, and some basic English, to civil servants. Now I teach Russian at a local continued-learning institute. I dabble in Gaelic and Welsh. I'm am amateur photographer and I love birding (in a small way). I'm a Progressive, and a Freethinker, and I know Evolution is a fact - that's FCD, Friend of Charles Darwin (look down the sidebar). I read a lot, and follow women's college basketball. Also I love astronomy, though I'm a rank amateur at it. Most of all, I like living in the reality-based community...

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->Lestrade must have asked a conscientious operator who called Mr Holmes a couple of nights ago, since I can't think of how there would be telephone records in those days, other than manually-written ones.
Hee hee - your comment makes me realize the only way he could have done it, particularly so quickly: the Yard is monitoring Holmes's phone! (Of course, Holmes must have known that.)
