Yikes! I thought that was Einstein? .... and I also thought the other 99% was perspiration. Another cherished belief dashed to smithereens.

"Naw. Einstein said, "Half this game is 90% breathing."
But my daughter told me, "Mom, there are three kinds of people in this world. Ones that are good at math and ones that aren't."

"This is odd, yes. ... If you think about it, careful ought to be the opposite of carefree! "
I betcha the all-purpose additive "-ridden" would go even farther from "carefree", i.e. "care-ridden".
