When I had it translated, the title was 'When Noah met Sally'.

We've got a 400 million year old plate.
As in something scultped from 400 million year old rock.
It's a black stone with lots of little white bits of fossils in it.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
