Summary

Description

There are many expressions that are puzzling. Consider the expression "Sleep like a baby". I am not sure what baby the first person to use this expression knew, but the babies that I have known would wake nearly ever half hour crying. I know of no adults that have ever "slept like a baby", although I imagine there are some members of professional sports teams that may have.

Another expression that has always puzzled me is "rules are meant to be broken". I simply cannot resolve the conflicting ideas in that expression. If it is an idea meant to be broken, it cannot possibly be a "rule". At best, it is a guideline, a recommendation or even just a suggestion, not a rule.

To deliberately mis-quote the former prime minister of Canada, "A rule is a rule. What kind of a rule? It's a rule. A rule is a rule. And when you have a good rule, it's because it rules."


Here, the steps in front of the St. Catharines Centennial Public Library bend the rules of...

...well, the must be some rule bent here. Rules were meant to be bent, or, something.
