A famous historic documentation mistake which led to the invention of proof readers. -- ArnoldLayne

Any reference for that claim?

The inalienable right and duty of every US citizen. And far, far more sensible that the other way around, too - bonus.

The title of a recent volume collecting many of the old "Dilbia" stories by GordonDickson?. A treacherous pun indeed, and proof that few of this sort of joke are original. -- DanielKnapp

commie mutant bears?

I resemble that remark! - JayOsako, in the form of Rev. Reunion
