Umm...
Man's reach must exceed his grasp or what's a meta for?

Subject: [etni] FW: "turning a what??"
A perfect example of mixed metaphors. One can "turn over a new leaf" or
"open a new page" (that's Hebrish, but most of us living here longer than 15
years speak Hebrish rather than English, anyway) but "turn a new page" is a
bit of a mix-up. I guess it's better than : "open a new leaf" (as
opposed to an old leaf, of course).
You open a new leaf on your dinner table when the guests come. B
