Introduction (second paragraph)
Alhena Gadotti[edit]
Instead of writing the article Ḫalub tree, I'd prefer to propose Alhena Gadotti's work, in the larger scheme of things, is like how some people spend time and money to keep dogs as pets ... while people clean the streets and offer service to others, and perform essential vital duties (running the emergency services). Although there is no way what-so-ever (currently) to know the actual species of tree which Ḫalub tree refers to, so she has dug and dug very thoroughly into the soil and found dirt, and a deep hole for us to look into (and no bones for the dog). Really some people like dog, and also cat, but some just can't eat dirt (not unless you happen to be the one digging dog owned by the digging dogs' owner... dogs prefer chunks though really to futile dirt, don't they?) Gadotti's work - ISBN 161451545X. Although nobody I know is suggesting to shoot dogs as a solution, nor have wild dogs or wolves instead.
auto-contra[edit]
Jacques Brunschwig vs Plato, Thomas G. West, Grace Starry West[edit]
Brunschhwig (in A Guide to Greek Thought: Major Figures and Trends) writes de facto "Socrates boasted, it seems, that he had never left Athens, except when he was participating in a military campaign and when he attended the Isthmic Games (just once)." - last paragraph p.225
but in the text of the Wests (Four Texts on Socrates: Plato's Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito, and Aristophanes' Clouds)
"...the reference to "the Isthmus" is probably to the Isthmian Games, athletic contest held periodically at Corinth. (The phrase "except once to Isthmus is missing from some manuscripts, and may be an interpolation). (foot of p.111)
weighing in at[edit]
Professor of the History of Ancient Philosophy, Emeritus, at the University of Paris (c.2003) (J Brunschwig)
the Wests are - Professor of Politics, University of Dallas, and a Senior Fellow of the Claremont Institute for the Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy (T.G.) & Associate Professor of Classical Studies, Hillsdale College (G.S.)
possible criticism of VJ Janik (Associate Professor of Humanities at the State University of New York at Farmingdale c.1998)[edit]
she states (within p.242 - Fools and Jesters in Literature, Art, and History: A Bio-bibliographical Sourcebook Greenwood Publishing Group, 1998 ISBN 0313297851)[1] - According to Ovid, Hermes fathered Autolycus on Chione by tricking both the girl and Apollo (ital. mine), who also lusted after her:[1]
In due time she gave birth to Autolycus [1]
a son of Mercury, wing footed, as if born [1]
With all his father's cleverness and speed, [1]
He made black look white and white look black. [1]
(Metamorphoses, book 11.308)[1]
but the Sir Samuel Garth, John Dryden, et al translation @ http://classics.mit.edu/Ovid/metam.11.eleventh.html shows:
But Mercury's hot love brook'd no delay; With his entrancing rod the maid he charms, And unresisted revels in her arms. 'Twas night, and Phoebus in a beldam's dress, To the late rifled beauty got access. Her time compleat nine circling moons had run; To either God she bore a lovely son: To Mercury Autolycus she brought, Who turn'd to thefts and tricks his subtle thought; Possess'd he was of all his father's slight, At will made white look black, and black look white.[2]

Alexandra Sifferlin writing for Time magazine[edit]
Alexandra Sifferlin writing in http://time.com/tag/obesity/page/11/ - "A study in American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology says that women with a normal weight before pregnancy who gain less than the recommended amount are 63% more likely to have a child who becomes overweight or obese"
"says" or showed
"There’s a growing mountain of evidence" - i didn't see that mountain anywhere in the article she wrote, although she says differently, but didn't show any evidence for her statement. Whalestate (talk) 00:24, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
Addition to an article with no valid evidence to support the addition - Socrates didn't refuse with a voice spoke in a low volume[edit]

a poem after Aristophanes (to be sung in rendition)[edit]
oh starry night,
your very very merry mighty to me
oh starry night,
your stinking like a pooh-fish caker on a plate for tea.

another couple[edit]
gentlemen please, take your places, please,
by the way sir your face has the visage of a pair of painted knees,
sow?
... just don't forget the wine and dish of cow, and a life lived carefully, thoroughly in the now.
