Re: An article that I couldn't help smiling at...

[quote=Eric;
When we see men grow old and die at a certain time one after another, from century to century, we laugh at the elixir that promises to prolong life to a thousand years; and with equal justice may the lexicographer be derided, who, being able to produce no example of a nation that has preserved their words and phrases from mutability, shall imagine that his dictionary can embalm his language, and secure it from corruption and decay.
Samuel Johnson was a pompous s**t, but he did make some good points.

I think there is misattribution going on: However, it is "Who is quoting whom"? And the substance is called Northern Lights, a rather nice strain of British Columbia's largest cash crop.
