[terrantechnocrat]

I will continue wrenching the contents of my brain out until I attain absolute self-wisdom or the post-nut clarity wears off. Whichever comes sooner.

Highlights from the Handy-Book #1

"Absolute Wisdom. A sobriquet given to Sir Matthew Wood, a stanch supporter of Queen Caroline in 1821, who, having been reproached for giving foolish advice to that unhappy queen, diffidently admitted that his conduct might not be 'absolute wisdom,' and was unmercifully chaffed in consequence by the wags of the period. He was made a baronet by Queen Victoria shortly after her accession, in acknowledgment, it was said, for pecuniary aid given to her father, the Duke of Kent, when greatly embarrassed."
