    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    He was gonna look up Cypress Hill lyrics because he thought that "Insane in the membrane" was a clue as to where to find the answer.

    Why Meth? Why?

    And bejeebus did I throw this thread into a snarl. I sincerly apologize.

    I started work designing bi-planes. I progressed to mono-planes and eventually jets. I designed many famous aeroplanes of the 20th centuary. One of the planes I designed is still used by airforces today.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Good question, i've just had a rewarding trawl through several wikipedia pages. I'm guessing you mean:

    Igor Sikorsky

    or, possibly:

    John Carver Meadows Frost
