beasts of burden 

The members of our population with totally "non-human" or "wild animal" mindsets (think, Rockefeller-type multi-billionaires, big-biz leaders, government bureaucrats, drug lords, etc.) who "live high on the hog" themselves, but who subject the rest of us to great stress and unfair toil merely to support their unhealthy greed for wealth and power.
They say that the top 1% of the human population controls half of the world's wealth --- seems like these "rich bugs" view all of us as mere beasts of burden to labor and provide for their own selfish luxury and arrogant feelings of control.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
