Warning: evil genius at work
I think it was Khan (as in the Star Trek film The Wrath of Khan) who said revenge is a dish best served cold. I’m not sure what it means, but it sounds appropriately menacing and clever for a super-baddy, and I think it would apply to this bit of internet jiggery-pokery. Sorry if you’ve seen this before, but it made me laugh.

Good link.
Hey, try asking your linguist wife about the provenance of quotes. Laclos beat Khan to it in Les Liaisons Dangereuses.

sorry, trying to be funny and it came across all know-all-y

Not a problem Doris, although I was very impressed by the use of the word “provenance”. An under-used word. As is “know-all-y”. My favourite word at the moment is what L uses to say things like her dress isn’t buttoned up: “It is undood”
