1. Mr. Piper has a hard time getting around this one while at the farmer's market.

2. Death sentences generally end in pray positions.

3. I thought it was one of Camus' better works, and hardly derivative.

4. Darwin was more specific. That's where his genus lies.

Five. A pox of a thousand Hobgoblins upon ye, Madame!

6. Who does not need rhetorical questions. What needs rhetorical questions. Who needs a new mitt. (Not sure about I Don't Know).

7. I think you're being a bit hyperbolic with this one.

8. Avoid dangling participles. And, generally try not to dangle anything, unless you're at a nudist colony.
