Wait a minute here C77. Take a look at all these fathers that are spending $70 a lesson to get the best mechanics and more speed for this new method that just arrived a year ago.

A real meeting-of-the-minds. You two babbling incoherently should make for a scintillating thread. Slapperdad is probably getting antsy watching you knobs take over the Indiana board.

I thought the "Magic Bullet" chronicled long ago. Doesn't anyone read history books anymore?

Paul Ehrlich is credited with coining "magic bullet" as a medical term after Pasteur died in 1895. The term actually originated in German folklore. From http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/broughttolife/techniques/magicbullet:

In the 1800s medical scientists discovered micro-organisms, such as staphylococci and streptococci, were causes of disease, and began to investigate them with microscopes. The physician Paul Ehrlich, who worked in Robert Koch's bacteriology lab, searched for chemicals that would stain specific germs to make them more visible under the microscope. He reasoned that he could not only stain but also attack these germs if he could find a chemical that would both attach itself to the germ and kill it. He called these chemicals ‘magic bullets’. (According to an old superstition, bullets could be charmed to make sure that they would hit a particular person.)

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freisch%C3%BCtz:

A Freischütz ("freeshooter"),[1] in German folklore, is a marksman who, by a contract with the devil, has obtained a certain number of bullets destined to hit without fail whatever object he wishes. As the legend is usually told, six of the magic bullets (German: Freikugeln, literally "free bullets"), are thus subservient to the marksman's will, but the seventh is at the absolute disposal of the devil himself.

Slapperdad,

Thought about you when we stumbled upon Lebowski's in Edinburgh last summer:

http://www.lebowskis.co.uk/edinburgh/

Don't think I would have ever watched the movie if it wasn't for the references by you and some of the other HBers here - but it's a classic. Funnily enough, I randomly made myself the first White Russian I've ever had before settling in to watch the movie for the first time, having no idea they were featured in the story. Some sort of cosmic abidingness I guess.

I beg to differ, it was found on a stretcher in Parkland Hospital, 22 November, 1963, Dallas Texas.

I never bought Bugliosi's theory with Manson either. Manson wasn't trying to start a race war, his motive was the oldest motive in the book, revenge. He knew Melcher didn't live at 10050 Cielo Drive anymore, but he knew a bunch "Hollywood types" did. It was revenge for his failed music career. Bugliosi did a spectacular job of selling his theory, literally making millions.
