Being Mr. Kenny

I have spent the entire morning looking for cables. I hate a cable as no man ever did before.

Who am I mis-quoting? That’s right! Charles Darwin, who, after studying barnacles for years and years, wrote,

I am at work on the second vol. of the Cirripedia, of which creatures I am wonderfully tired: I hate a Barnacle as no man ever did before, not even a Sailor in a slow-sailing ship. My first vol. is out: the only part worth looking at is on the sexes of Ibla & Scalpellum; I hope by next summer to have done with my tedious work.
