salmonella -- this dreaded food-born bacteria got its name from Dr. Daniel Elmer Salmon, an American vetrinary pathologist (1850 - 1914) who headed the research program that first isolated it. The person who actually discovered it was Dr. Theobald Smith. If his name had been first on the report, the bacteria might have been named "smithonella."

Birthday of Douglas Jerrold (1803-1875), author of Mrs. Caudle's Curtain Lectures (1846), which details the sufferings of Mres. Caudle's henpecked husband, Job. Jerrold once wrote, "In the intercourse of the world, people should not take words as so much geunione coin of standard metal, but merely as counters that people play with." The team curtain lecture and its variant, curtain sermon, date from the 1630s, when curtains were commonly hung above and around beds. As regal and stylish as it may look to us today, the conopy bed served not only to insulate sleepers from drafts but also to protect them from vermin and their dorppings. James Halliwell's Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words(1855) included an expression related to curtain lecture, "to have the saucepan on the fire," which means to be ready to scold

"Goku is like yeast," Hakkai had once told Sanzo. "Right now he's small and uncultured. Given a little time--and the right conditions--and he'll flourish."
Hakkai had, of course, been right. The young boy had matured and grown mentally (even if he was still short).
The one thing Hakka had neglected to mention was that Goku would become as necessary as yeast in Sanzo's life--not a day would go by that wasn't touched by Goku's influence.
As Goku slept in his arms, Sanzo decided that he didn't mind.
