   Inspired! Thank you. (I had to look up "mickle.") Tom Friedman ended his long   
   NY Times piece on Glasgow a couple of weeks ago with this:   
      
      Two planets are talking to each other. One looks like a beautiful blue   
   marble and the other a dirty brown ball.   
      “What on earth happened to you?” the beautiful planet asks the brown   
   one.   
      “I had Homo sapiens,” answers the brown planet.   
      “Don’t worry,” says the blue planet. “They don’t last long.”
