Weasels ripped from context

William Horman, the headmaster of Winchester and Eton, included the Latin form 'Mater artium necessitas' in Vulgaria, a book of aphorisms for the boys of the schools to learn by heart, which he published in 1519.

Which leads, just one screen later, to Frank Zappa, in a connection for which I have just begun to kick myself for never having made.

A necessity because Frank first wanted to call the band "The Motherfuckers."
