I agree with Mark Kleiman on the question of burning witches. Of course, there is one very good way to determine if someone is a witch: witches burn, and so does wood; wood floats on water, just as ducks do; so if she weighs as much as a duck, then she floats on water, and is made of wood, and thus certainly a witch.

There's only one problem: not just wooden witches float. So do very small rocks - at least, those small enough and oblong enough not to break the surface tension.

Homage (pron. O-marje) is a kind of home-made French cheese.
Plagerism is the effects of eating too much of it.
