I wouldn't get too worked up about meanings in "Nothing disappears
without a trace". I'm pretty sure (as perhaps all the rest of you are)
that Mr. Caesar's fantastic discovery was apocryphal. If the Grandma
Moses bit doesn't convince, a bit of checking reveals no such volume
entitled "The Third Book of Words to Live By."
It was pretty cute, but I think the story about that film maker a few
months back was better hoax.
Still curious.
