Boy, I really stepped on the rake with this one.
nelnose on 2016-05-31 17:59:07
I couldn't rake to get this one finished.
highbrow on 2016-06-10 03:09:06
Rake: a fashionable or wealthy man of dissolute or promiscuous habits. Huh.
highbrow on 2016-08-23 06:29:36
Rake. I had to try each remaining letter one at a time to figure out the K.

"If music is the pathway to the heart, as Voltaire suggested, then speech is the pathway to other people. Live in silence and you live alone."

Voltaire invented the car battery. Untill then a car ran by a hampster running in a wheel that turned the axle.
LLapp on 2014-12-10 14:16:40
Thanks for the research, nevada, but I'm pretty sure Voltaire invented the automatic transmission.
marnita on 2016-06-03 10:53:27
And the hamsters are still running the Kia Soul.

No. Voltaire invented the spray pump used for the windshield washer.

I thought he had something to do with the Chevy Volt.

With a name like Voltaire, it has to be an air conditioner.

"The brighter you are, the more you have to learn."
— Don Herold
gryhnd51 on 2014-04-11 18:38:37
In my own experience, the brighter you are the more your supervisors/bosses will EXPECT you to learn. This expectation is a wonderful thing for both your work life and your personal life, and should be appreciated.
obsessedreader8 on 2014-05-31 15:59:54
Love the photo of Herold!
mikehallbackhoe on 2014-07-21 17:42:35
I guess I still have a lot to learn

I was so bright my parents called me "sun".

"If thou wouldst conquer thy weakness thou must not gratify it. "
— William Penn
sonofcarc on 2009-02-11 18:42:10
I believe "wouldn't" should be "wouldst," without an apostrophe.
chriscrojam on 2011-02-17 22:51:48
Oh gee, thank you sonofcarc for making it three times harder!
Lurker on 2012-06-25 00:33:04
That's it, sonofcarc, no more "helpful" comments from you! At least I got "thy" right, or I'd still be trying to solve it.
abra on 2013-08-05 14:28:15
You mean this used to be Wouldn't, and they FIXED it? Love that.
chopstix on 2014-03-12 19:52:30

abra on 2015-04-21 15:34:02
I didn't remember this one, but I got THY and THOU right, on the first try. That got me a Very Fast.
figmo on 2015-07-31 11:37:29
When I saw William Penn, I expected "thy," "thee," and "thou."
SippyGurl on 2015-11-05 19:37:45
there aren't any apostrophes anymore. at least, not what shows after solving... i don't remember what the solving part had.

"A man's first care should be to avoid the reproaches of his own heart, and his next to escape the censures of the world." — Joseph Addison
montyb on 2016-04-26 22:03:42
Escaping the censures should be easy; you'd only have to hide once every ten years.
