Should have expected it

[Wilson Gray]

A character on tonight's CSI:NY pronounced "semiotics" as "seh _my_
otiks." Well, the hemi is still called a "himmih," at least, and not a
"hih-my."

Everybody says, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange
complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
-----
Whoever has lived long enough to find out what life is knows how deep
a debt of gratitude we owe to Adam, the first great benefactor of our
race. He brought death into the world.

--Sam Clemens
