Who he? And what has he painted lately? OK, you can have your Lennon and McCartney. It was only nursery rhymes anyway. Nothing of the stature of Burns. The English will be along shortly to shake their spears at you. ...and your father's still perfecting ways of making sealing wax.

About time
I've been waiting for someone to mention Edward De Vere (The Earl Of Oxford). Greatest writer ever in the English language.
And evidently the greatest breaker of wind, too... John Aubrey, the diarist, tells a story about the Earl of Oxford. When the Earl made a low obeisance to the Queen, he happened to let go a fart, at which he was so ashamed that he left the country for 7 years. At his return the Queen welcomed him and said, "My lord, I had forgot the fart"!
"The internet is an elite organisation: most of the population of the world has never even made a phone call." [Noam Chomsky (1928- ).]

That track leads to precipices; life on that giddy level ends in a fall.” - Seneca
