LONG-WINDED PROVERB OF THE MONTH

Stardate: 110157:9409 - Neecerie: A detached fragment of the terrestrial lithosphere, whether of igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic orgin, and wheher acquiring its approximation of sphericity through hydraulic action or other attrition, when continuously maintained in motion about its temporary axis and with its velocity accelerated by an increase in the angle of declivity, is, because of abrasive action produced by the incessant but irrefular contact between its peripher and the contiguous terrain, effectivly prevented from accumulating on its external surface an appreciable amount of the cryptogamous vegetation normally propagated in unbrageous situations under optimum conditions of undeviating atmospheric humidity, quiescence and comparative sequestration from corrosive-erosive agencies.
Stardate: 110158:7966 - Ferreri: a rolling stone gathers no moss.
