    "For the love of Pete" and "For Pete's sake" - where do these sayings come from?

    Precocious Pete observes his aunt vigorously contract her bilateral zygomaticus major and corrugator supercilii muscles. What is her most likely emotion at seeing Pete?

    I really love spending a few minutes scanning the latest questions, and answers, here. I appreciate that the rules ask for a reference to accompany the answer, but should they not also say that any reply should actually give an answer, and not just a reference? I find it a bit peeving to have a reply consisting only of something like - "Here's the reference guys!"
