    Nah, can't do, because if you read old stuff like what I do, you find the use is more in the line of tormenting the village idiot, i.e. if you're 'quizzing' someone you're bouncing someone who can't fight back, back and forth, amongst your gang. Also the Yo-Yo was originally called a 'quiz', possibly for the same reason: bouncing back and forth.

    That 'qui es' version I think you mean doesn't come along until late victorian stuff.
    Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

            TWO questions! Well since you are a tpder I will let you off this once.

            Katie's horse can't go to water as she is a fem-bot. You should take a zinc suppliment to keep the lead in your pencil.

            Not every cloud has a silver lining. But every silver lining has a close. <Brillo in BlasterBates mode>

              Hey I've got a real question! How do you get a hold of Montpellier? I love the fact they don't list a phone number on their site and never answer emails. Or maybe this is a sign of things to come?
