Mrs. Goodsoe, foreseeing the internet in 1887: “There's goin' to be some sort of a set-back one o' these days, with these telegraphs an' things, an' letters comin' every hand's turn, and folks leavin' their proper work to answer 'em.  I may not live to see it.” The Courting of Sister Wisby (1887), Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909)

Protocol

Round up a bunch of pretty girls and feed them flower petals.

Round up another, equally-sized bunch of pretty girls as a control group.

Get a government grant, or maybe Kickstarter to finance this.

I'll be over there in the shade, drinking vodka, and will be by later to check on things.

...the one that has to do with pretty girls, flower petals, and butterflies.

The question to be investigated: Is it really true?
