How We Lived on It (38) – A Venn Diagram of “Things That Are Bad” in the World and the Few That Are Not

I could not have suspected when I began this series that one day a single post would so approach universal completeness as nearly to obviate the need for going on. But it was in the space between nearly and not, I believe, that the Big Bang occurred, so, in the nearly words of Mr. Beckett, (I can’t go on) I’ll go on.

My favorite is “languages suitable only for barking out commands on the battlefield.”
