"To be hoist by one's own petard," a now proverbial phrase apparently originating with Shakespeare's Hamlet (around 1604) not long after the word entered English (around 1598), means "to blow oneself up with one's own bomb, be undone by one's own devices." The French noun pet, "fart," developed regularly from the Latin noun pditum, from the Indo-European root *pezd-, "fart."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-27546606675341594692009-11-12T23:04:27.962-08:002009-11-12T23:04:27.962-08:00Very interesting, Ritanita.

Thanks for picking out the good stuff for us!<br /><br />Just one teeny little thing, though...a "petard" is actually a bomb, so the expression is "<b>hoist</b> by his own petard," meaning blown up by his own bomb.<br /><br />I know...it really doesn't matter to anything, but I'm compulsive, and can't help it...sorry.Ronnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062796442588373271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-76759406724232522692009-11-11T09:55:03.928-08:002009-11-11T09:55:03.928-08:00OOOH, ANON, great reference to the Poe story.

If there is DNA present, I would assume it would have to be the gnats that were in the trunk, the first generation so to speak.<br /><br />I know the coffin flies are tiny and I'm wondering if they would find enough gnats/flies/DNA to test in a "gnat milkshake" referred to in some of the message boards and blogs.<br /><br />I've been wrong before, but I'm not counting on such evidence at this point.<br /><br />I've also read that the concentration of chloroform in the Gatorade bottle is so miniscule as to be of no issue in the case. <br /><br />Shari,<br /><br />I'm still hoping for fingerprints from items in the Disney bag. <br /><br />One thing I truly believe is that the defense is still scrambling to figure out a defense. The recent motion to dismiss due to faulty indictments tells me that. In addition, Todd Macaluso's "grandstanding" in open court that the defense had proof that Casey was innocent tells me that.<br /><br />If they had proof, they would have been all over the State providing discovery of exculpatory evidence.<br /><br />Instead, they are poring over the TES records trying to find someone who will claim they searched the area and didn't find anything. They have until February 1 to find that person!ritanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798894468241676294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-35865612973142614592009-11-10T12:39:45.852-08:002009-11-10T12:39:45.852-08:00I wonder if the gnats that fed on Caylee had any D...I wonder if the gnats that fed on Caylee had any DNA of Caylee, and also chloroform.

I believe the hair found in the trunk with the death band on it, as well as the newly reported gnats that feed on decomposition, found in the trunk and at the burial site,as well as the syringes filled with chloroform, will hopefully show the jury the real story of Caylee's death.

Both Cindy and George seem to have changed their stories and these were recorded and broadcast. Then there is Lee Anthony talking about his inside joke with Casey about Zanny the Nanny not being a real person, but meaning Xanex, the drug. There is SO much evidence to prove Casey is guilty of murdering Caylee. The defense has nothing but attempts to delay the inevitable as long as they can.Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418551036491989541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-34857347057210204162009-11-06T22:04:40.780-08:002009-11-06T22:04:40.780-08:00Thank you ritanita for all of this information.
