âAnd so the Greeks send me this horse, weâre talking about one of the most beautiful horses youâve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse weâll even bring it to your houseâ

(40,864 posts)in the original language, and found this in an Italian magazine after a Google search -- looks like it was some kind of pun, relevant to some article I didn't read, and too late to change without making searches more troublesome ...
At the time, I didn't even consider that Galileo would have spoken the Tuscan dialect, and that the differences among Italian dialects are substantial ... so maybe my nom de net works in some obscure dialect with a handful of surviving speakers ! (This is sort of a variant of the imbiber's "It's five o'clock somewhere" argument.)
(BTW, apparently "e pur si muova" would be correct. Ah, hindsight!)

(26,248 posts)Because when Donnie was a little boy he was bad-to-the-bone, and mommy and daddy didn't get him shit (except reform school). So Donnie is now taking out his early childhood development "problems" on the world.
