Concerning candles burning out in bottles, Alex Ferguson suggested:
"What the candle flame requires is not this bastard 'Aer' the barbarians
speak of, but the true Aether. ...."
or:
"This proves the eternal victory of storm over fire, just as it triumphs
over _all_ the elements! ..."
Excellent examples of mythic justifications for physical events! Just the
sort of cheesy mytho-physics for which I strive.
