    Everyone knows that the Scots invented everything[^] that the Chinese didn't. Now it seems they invented sex[^] too.

    Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

                Another species of the same type found in China is chuandongensis, and that was discovered by a man named Wang.

                  Possibly not, this might be OG's pack of pimps?

                      Dr. Johnson pros A Dictionary of the English Language -- one of the funniest books ever written (even funnier than the Websters). "I do so love a good laugh, and he always delivers!" (Wallace, 2014) Dr. Johnson cons Didn't know the difference between "scotchman" and "Scotsman" -- yet another reason why the task of compiling a dictionary should never have been placed in his hands.
