Learning new things, though, like it was James Watt being hired to build an engine to replace 12 horses at a sawmill that caused him to create the measure known as "horsepower."
Oh neat, really? I didn't know there were actual horses responsible. I love finding out stuff like that. It helps make up for the more annoying parts of the whole writing process (and I'm the last person who could ever pick on you for procrastinating. I procrastinate with work, I procrastinate with hobbies... the strictures of time are for other people.)
