"A university education will be free to every man and woman by the end of the 20th Century. Several great national universities will have been established. Children will study a simple English grammar adapted to simplified English and not copied after the Latin Medical inspectors regularly visiting the public schools will furnish poor children free eyeglasses, free dentistry, and free medical attention of every kind."
- John Watkins, 1900.

Word of the Day: flat-hat
Meaning: To fly low in an airplane in a reckless manner.
Example: "Mavrick gave a whoop of glee as brought his plane down dangerously low, flat-hatting over the air traffic tower causing startled air traffic controllers to jump and spill hot coffee on themselves."

Points to those who know what movie that example is taken from :-)

Useless and weird fact:
