IRWIN: At the time of the Reformation there were fourteen foreskins of Christ preserved, but it was thought that the church of St John Lateran in Rome had the authentic prepuce.
DAKIN: Don't think we're shocked by your mention of the word 'foreskin', sir.
CROWTHER: No, sir. Some of us even have them.
LOCKWOOD: Not Posner, though, sir. Posner's like, you know, Jewish.
It's one of several things Posner doesn't have.

People are eating our oceans to death. No fish is safe. What most people don't realize, however, is that meat-eating also greatly diminishes the oceans, because 40% of the fish taken from the sea is fed to pigs, chickens, cowls, domestic cats, and farm-raised fish. In fact, pigs are eating more fish than sharks, chickens are eating more fish than puffins, and cats are eating more fish than seals. So really, when you eat bacon, you're eating the sea.

You truly are the most astonishingly beautiful hobbit I’ve ever seen,” he said, and Tamsyn froze.
“Hobbit??”
“Um, yes?” he said, and Tamsyn looked down at herself in panic. Her suit had disappeared and been replaced by a straight dress in a rustic homespun fabric of a drab, brownish grey. Her hair still looked the same, she established when she grabbed a handful and held it up in front of her face, but when she scrabbled up and caught a glimpse of her feet, her legs immediately lost their strength again. She thudded back down hard and grabbed her left leg, yanking her foot up to her eyes.
It was bare, large and very, very hairy.
She checked her other foot as well, hoping against all laws of probability that it would be different, and groaned in consternation when it looked the same as the left one.
“This can’t be true!” she wailed, scrambling to get up again. “I’m a hobbit!

Over a bowl of steaming feu, Chinese noodle soup, Mon kept talking. As always, the soup was served with a plate piled high with fresh greens—cilantro and mint, bean sprouts and lemon—that one added for taste. On the table sat an assortment of Lao and Thai condiments like fish paste, chili peppers, and hot sauce. I usually stayed away from these deadly bottles. Mon, on the other hand, dumped a healthy dose of each into her bowl. Just one

YENİ BAŞLAYANLAR İÇİN İSTANBUL
İstanbul izledi bizi
Sana vapurda çay ikram etti
Beni iskelede titretti.
İstanbul gizledi bizi
Seni Galata’dakine, beni de
Denizin ortasındaki kuleye hapsetti.
İstanbul gezdirdi bizi
Martılar adaların selamını iletti
Ortaköy’de güneş sessizce eğildi.
İstanbul incitti bizi
Biran cehennem buz kesti
Evsizlerin ateşi onu da eritti.
İstanbul sevdi bizi
Sade kahve kadar yalnız bu şehir
Şiir misali, bize aşkı ezberletti.
İstanbul özledi bizi
Tüm sahipsiz âşıklar burada
Kendilerini evde hissetti.

We may perhaps go even further, and save both Holmes' responsibility and Watson's Hippocratic oath, by speculating whether perhaps Dr Grimesby Roylott did not die from snake poison at all, but from apoplexy brought on by his herculean efforts to whistle back a deaf and unresponsive reptile, aided by general exhaustion caused by too frequent indulgence in poker bending.
