Talk:The Idiot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:The_IdiotI think this book reinforces negative stereotypes about people with epilepsy and this novel reflects that. I think instead of "The Idiot" we should be talking about Developmental Delay and Special Abilities. It is so hard to overcome all the prejudice with books like this existing in this backward state. 203.97.98.36 (talk) 22:43, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Mr. Heffer huffs again
http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=2624But there was once a workman who made a glass cup that was unbreakable. So he was given an audience of the Emperor with his invention; he made Caesar give it back to him and then threw it on the floor. Caesar was as frightened as could be. But the man picked up his cup from the ground: it was dinted like a bronze bowl; then he took a little hammer out of his pocket and made the cup quite sound again without any trouble. After doing this he thought he had himself seated on the throne of Jupiter, especially when Caesar said to him: 'Does anyone else know how to blow glass like this?' Just see what happened. He said not, and then Caesar had him beheaded. Why? Because if his invention were generally known we should treat gold like dirt. Myself I have a great passion for silver.
