Hmm.  I'd argue that in the last example the word 'of' has been elided.  And I'd argue that "world Wild West" is an elided form of "world of Wild West".

But I'm sure that others would argue differently.

Not a r*pe scene, but definitely porn.

A teaser from the chapter I'm working on:

Okay, I have a plausible-but-not-seriously-checked result.

If the two pulleys are at the same heigbt (an assunption maybe unjustified) the maximum force on the rope will occur when the distance from the end to the plumb line through Tazar is square-root-of-one-half (about .71) times the drop from tbe pulley to the knot joining the lines.  If that condition cannot be achieved, the maximum force is with Tazar directly below the pulley (or hawspipe) through which the rope passes.

Ouch.  I realized yesterday  morning that I'd missed two scenes in The Rockpike.  On reflection I realized one of them might be better later, but one of them should occur now.  In fact, it should be Merran's first meeting of the people of the Rockpile.

I'll do at least six reviews today.  (I could do 18.)  But I'm going to spend time on The Rockpile too.
