  1. A quotation from The Bible

    A hasty quarrel sparks a fire,
       and hasty conflict sheds blood.
    If you blow on a spark, it will flame up,
       and if you spit on it, it will go out;
       nonetheless, both come out
       of your mouth.
     
    [ἔρις κατασπευδομένη ἐκκαίει πῦρ,
    καὶ μάχη κατασπεύδουσα ἐκχέει αἷμα.
    ἐὰν φυσήσῃς εἰς σπινθῆρα, ἐκκαήσεται,
    καὶ ἐὰν πτύσῃς ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν, σβεσθήσεται·
    καὶ ἀμφότερα ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου ἐκπορεύεται.]

  3. Filed in Boston this week, the owners of the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast are suing the coffee shop next door for naming their place "Miss Lizzie's Coffee" and using a bloody axe in its sign. Demands include re-naming, a public apology, and a fine for the coffee already sold under the banner.
