I love the expression
"A Number Of ..."
Because it doesn't mean anything.
A number of Victoria Secret models have expressed interest in sleeping with me.
That number is zero.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheDied 22 Mar 1832 at age 82 (born 28 Aug 1749). German poet, zoologist, botanist and geologist who was both famous in world literature and an intellectual with an interest in science. He coined the term morphology to describe the systematic study of the structure of living things. He wrote ably, though mostly wrongly, on matters of science. His Zur Farbenlehre (On the Theory of Colour, 1810), parted radically from Newton's interpretation of white light as a mixture of colours. Goethe took the position of a neptunist in geology. In biology, he saw all plant structures as modifications of leaf forms. However, he agreed with evolution whereby he viewed the origin of plants and animals as having followed specialization and differentiation throughout time to their present forms.« |
