This people does, when the whimsy strikes him.

When the whimsy strikes me, I lock her in the dungeon.

In the low dark dungeon, when you are in high dudgeon?

MARTY................MATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

S'me - stales - great to see you back, it's been well over a year!

See you at the 'G' for the Collingwood game on July 7? Or just for a lager after the match? I'll be in town for a week.

Sweet stales,

I think you fell prey to what many of us have when old threads are brought back up. And darn it, I wish he really was back, too! However--I sent him your post. We can hope.

Datum may not be in common use, but in the technical area of mapping (and geographic information systems) it is still a very important concept. OTOH, I have no idea whether the GIS usage has the same etymology.
