We're trying to teach a point here. Liver, if properly cooked, and

Ate a lot of just that growing up, and it was a common menu item in

Then I read a guy talking about car filters, and how they trap all the
poisons of motor oil. Pretty much like how beef liver catches all the
poisons in the cow's blood, he says.
I just can't get that picture out of my mind.

I'd cook my oil filters a little longer, but not much.
As Caligula used to say, "Everything in moderation."

Er, John. Wasn't that Aristotle who said that?
i think that Caligula was probably far from being a moderate kind of

I concede that you know a lot more about those kinds of guys than I

I suggest Plato's dialogues, where you will find mention of sophrosyne.
Caligula, as every schoolboy knows, was an ancestor of Governor Sanford.
