Dave himself was a spectacularly dumb hermaphrodite, but with a great personality.

The hermaphrodite showed remarkable wisdom, proving to everyone he/she was not dumb.

If conventional wisdom has it that hermaphrodites are somehow sick, I'll happily show you otherwise.

The hermaphrodites happily demonstrated parallax to the art students.

Happily, when I tried to find a stellar parallax, I started looking in the Centaur.

While listening to "The Temples of Syrinx" (over and over), the centaur made extraordinarily precise measurements of the parallax of HDE 226868.

(HDE 226868 is the optical counterpart of Cygnus X-1 )

The fanatic helenistic pagan of the Aeolian islands played the syrinx at sunset everyday at dawn.

Aeolian weathering, whistling like a syrinx, leaves no place for olive trees after a few million years.

To get away from the aeolian effects on the olive trees, I climbed Gornergrat.

My freinds were climbing, and feeling otiose at the foot of Gornergrat I ate olive after olive.

My phthisic condition led me to feeling otiose and unable to climb Gornergrat.

After they cut off the phthisic half of my foot, I was feeling otiose and sesquipedalian.

With this Havarti and these chanterelles, I'm really relying on endosymbiontism tonight!

Using the sexagesimal counting system, we determined the species practicing endosymbiontism in chanterelles to be exactly 100.

Investigating endosymbiontism using the sexagesimal system gave me a headache that felt like a concussion.

My vinegar is fifty-nine parts water one sixtieth part natural acetic acid, making it one degree of vinegar, but this part which is acetic acid is also 59 parts acetic acid, and one part extract from impatiens, making it one minute balsamic, using sexigesimal nominclature. I was about to carry my analysis further when I received a concussion from Mrs White in the Kitchen with a Candlestick.

Choking on antoniseb's balsamic vinegar made me keel over and hit my eyebrows on the table's edge, receiving the concussion of a lifetime.
