Trivia[]
- There is a minor spelling error in Sadie's joke to Anna regarding Professor Wolfram. The Anglicized form is thuggee or tuggee. From the Sanskrit for 'concealment' or Hindi for 'deceit', it describes a renegade cult of the goddess Kali, whose members roamed the Indian sub-continent from no later than the 14th century C.E. until they were (supposedly) wiped out in the 19th century -- all the while tricking, strangling, robbing and burying hapless travelers. (This is the origin of thug in English.)
