Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

With the help of synthetic polymers, the team managed to use the vascular system of rose stems to build the basic parts of electronic circuits inside the plant. I will avoid a bad pun about power plants. I leaf that to you.

OK, then. The idea and possible uses are interesting, but a rose with embedded electronics still has thorns.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

From criminals and politicians to friends and family, all sorts of people do stupid things every single day. But what exactly makes an act "stupid"? It's a harder question to answer than you might think. "Momma says stupid is as stupid does."
