In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Re: Metamorphosis

Hi Bobby,

The OED says barr is a variant of the obsolete word bary: v To utter the peculiar cry of an elephant.

I have the 2-volume book set of Merriam-Webster's Third New International Dictionary, and it's in there as an abbreviation for barrister.

Bit busy with something else right now (& bed soon!)...I'll have a go at your new one tomorrow.
