This one has me stumped. One of the cribs has: Nor do rivers which have their banks distant in location remain safe. Does this sound right? rivers that were allotted banks distant from the action?

In school, a crib sheet is a piece of paper with notes on it that you bring to a test as some kind of cheating aid.

So I'd take it to be a hint from a commentary or translation.

It speaks to the excellence of your character that you don't know what that is.

Is that a sarcastic comment? I've heard the term used in other connotations.

It seems to be really hard to compliment people on this board without them turning suspicious.

Maybe because you have a tendency to post ambiguous statements.

That's merely the way I see it. I hope my comment won't deter you from posting omnino. :)

I've always thought a crib was a cradle for a small child.

LOL, we hijacked poor Cinefactus' thread talking about this!
