[dewinged]

Well, after Yesterday's post...well, I don't have anything nearly as interesting today. But, while I posted one of the exercise questions in the earlier post, how's about I give the rest of you a crack at this?

1) Members of an avian species of identical plumage congregate.

2) Surveillance should precede saltation.

3) It is fruitless to become lachrymose over precipitately departed lacteal fluid.

4) Freedom from incrustations of grime is contiguous to rectitude.

5) The temperature of the aqueous content of an unremittingly ogled saucepan does not reach 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

6) Eleemosynary deeds have their incipience intramurally.

7) Neophyte's serendipity.

8) The person presenting the ultimate cachinnation possesses thereby the optimal cachinnation.

9) Abstention from undertakings precludes a potent escalation of a profitable nature.

10) The stylus is more potent than the claymore.

Go to it. :)
