Abstract

 

THE YEAR is 1774. Imagine yourself an ancestor, struggling back to intelligence, your last memory a nose full of water. As you feel more like yourself, you observe a benign old gentleman. He is responsible for the twinge in your side. He likes a barrel for draping a victim. Gravity and pommeling force water out and air in. You should be thankful that barbed wire fences are not yet invented.
