@Chris - regarding your comment elsewhere upon gravity and it's relationship to your big toe. May I congratulate you for how perceptive you have been to have brought the topic to our keen attention :

Refutation of Bishop Berkeley
After we came out of the church, we stood talking for some time together of Bishop Berkeley's ingenious sophistry to prove the nonexistence of matter, and that every thing in the universe is merely ideal. I observed, that though we are satisfied his doctrine is not true, it is impossible to refute it. I never shall forget the alacrity with which Johnson answered, striking his foot with mighty force against a large stone, till he rebounded from it -- "I refute it thus."
Boswell: Life
Thus yourself and the esteemed Samuel Johnson have joined minds, as it were, across the centuries to elucidate the equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass :
A stone may fall and strike a foot, and in turn the foot may strike the stone.
Cheers, Mike.

Thank you kind sir, I accept your accolade with all due reverence. It is indeed rare these days to come across one with such similar good breeding and literary education. It would be my pecuniary pleasure it we were ever to meet, to purchase a suitable alcoholic beverage as would befit the occasion.
Do pray excuse me for one moment .....
Mumble mumble mumble, thumbs through almanac, OED, Brittanica, medical journal, what the hell do doctors drink? Ah!! of course a tincture!!
As dear Dennis Thatcher used to say, a tincture? large G&T and no tonic please!
Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)
Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now
Quite right too. Should only be allowed when there is an G in the month. Would be quite appropriate would it not? Thank god we only get one Einstein every 100 years, think of the mess we'd be in if we had more of 'em!
Quantum mechanics is four grease monkeys down the Ford main agents that can't fix the fault on your new car!
Fweet! Bill posted twice in a row. He owes us all a drink, right?
Catching up on old business: I found my original set of spare propellers for the drone, right about where I thought I'd lost them and where I'd swear I looked for them two or three times.
