Hey, you, yes you [insert Roger Waters gibberish] etc.--
That OK City Law Journal issue on M&D will be published in February--just
paid my ten bucks for the privelage.
also, according to the American Dictionary of the English Language, 1897,
"torpedo" is defined as "a species of eel having the power of giving an
electric shock, so as to produce torpor, or numbness."
acc. to the Royal English Dictionary, 1775--
"a fish [also called the cramp-fish] which not only benumbs the hands of
those that touch it, but likewise affects them in the same manner when they
take it with a line and fishing rod."
this may be on Tim Ware's site, but if not, well, there we are.
