• La estupidez inglesa es un organismo tan primitivo que parece imposible de eliminar. Me recuerda al Physarum Polycephalum, el gigantesco moho fangoso criado recientemente por científicos de Bonn. De color amarillo brillante y unos dos milímetros de grosor, esta criatura monocelular -ni planta ni animal- alcanzó un tamaño de 10 metros cuadrados antes de que los científicos se asustaran y la congelaran. Puede oler su comida favorita y desplazarse hacia ella a una velocidad de hasta dos centímetros por hora. Su comida favorita son las gachas de avena.

• A Centaur has a man-stomach and a horse-stomach. And of course both want breakfast. So first of all he has porridge and pavenders and kidneys and bacon and omlette and cold ham and toast and marmalade and coffee and beer. And after that he tends to the horse part of himself by grazing for an hour or so and finishing up with a hot mash, some oats, and a bag of sugar. That's why it's such a serious thing to ask a Centaur to stay for the weeekend. A very serious thing indeed.
