I fear Angelus has revealed a bit of cloven hoof peeping from beneath his seraphic robe here. And of course it's always fun to see a Marxior-Marxicis-ipsis citing Little Green Footballs.

What's Novus is Vetus again.

I always find it fascinating, from a rhetorical point of view, when people suddenly switch to the third person in a list discusion. It appears to signify something akin to a stage whisper, where you are suddenly talking to an audience, but only excluding one person from that audience.
