  [gentle music] Casimi wakes. He arises. He washes. [dramatic music] He rubs his hurting stomach. [major cords] He eats eggs and bread.

  Well I have the Babel text translated and posted at the following site. You can see the fleshed out version of the Ragi language in action.

  I was thinking this morning, inspired by the historical thread,
  In the times of the English fashion when men wore the ruff and
  cast their cloaks in the mud to save a ladies shoes, a new word
  came into the language.

  Apparently the belligerent bravos of the day began to wear giant
  ruffs 6 to 7 feet across and had swords made with extra long
  blades for use on any who bumped into their ruff. They were
  called Ruffians. The response of the authorities was to issue
  a pair of large scissors and blacksmith tongs to the watch who
  used the scissors to prune the ruff to reasonable dimensions,
  and the tongs to break the swordblade to 3 feet in length.
