"vile and corrupt,"

And that's its good points.

Jim, that reminds me of a story...

I used to be a TA for a college chemistry class, and had to grade and correct assignments, including labs.

One of the labs had the students taking a solution of something or other, and purifying it in stages to raw crystals of some compound or other.

An intermediate step had the students weigh the beaker with the crystals before they were purified.

One of the blondes in the class put down this step in her lab notebook as follows:

"Weight of vile & crude crystals......xyz grams"

...to which I wrote in red, "Come on, they weren't *that* bad."

Cheers!
