Well, we all knew that Dumbledore works in mysterious ways, didn't we?
Little did we know that he was merely biding his time, waiting for 
the prophecied arrival of The Lunch Trolley before he made his move.

Can this be reconciled with MAGICDISHWASHER, do you think?


You know, I once had an English teacher who used to pick out 
sentences like the above whenever they would appear in my essays and 
then demand that I explain to the entire class precisely *why* they 
were grammatically problematic?

Sadistic man, he was.
