It took me a while to find a link: https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/macdonald ... ood%29.pdf I used to have this on my wall at Britannica till a woman from the copy department (English majors!) said that she found it lascivious.  By the way, our physics and chemistry editors, both females and my friends, loved it.

Yeah, thank you, we do have Rotkäppchen AKA Little Red Riding Hood in Germany; AFAIK it originated here Thankfully, we‘re getting more wolves meanwhile  But the linked story itself goes just over my head (not that I’m really in distress about that). Only thing that immediately happened was that I wanted to take my red correction pen and change “lemmas” to “lemmata” but I then again I know the EN speaking world also says “data” when it’s only about one datum and such things  Cordially, Tom |
