Ah.  That’s it, Steve!  I forgot, when I issued the challenge, that you all had mothers!

Nick - 

 

“Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?”  [I bet you nobody on this list knows the origin of that quote without looking it up.]

Without looking it up anywhere but my associative memory of experiences/anecdotes, I remember my mother uttering this line dramatically, appending "... the Shadow knows!" which she then explained was the intro line to an old radio serial, possibly from the 30's or 40's.    I suppose, that this was a reference to something yet earlier... what with "all art is derivative"?
