Ward,

WD>Try that with the english of Shakespeare's time and you're doomed.

  The perfect example of that is from Romeo and Juliet. When Romeo first
sees Juliet's beauty, he says "I was filled with compassion, and my
bowels were moved". :P

  Now, at that time, the bowels (the stomach) were thought of as "the
pit of the emotions". But, in this case, it's as if he sees a pretty
girl, and poops in his pants. :P
