From Farhad Manjoo’s otherwise very good Kindle review:
“E-ink come at a cost, though: This display responds more slowly than a mime at a parliamentary debate.”
Royalty was like dandelions. No matter how many heads you chopped off, the roots were still there underground, waiting to spring up again.
It seemed to be a chronic disease. It was as if even the most intelligent person had this little blank spot in their heads where someone had written: "Kings. What a good idea." Whoever had created humanity had left in a major design flaw. It was its tendency to bend at the knees.
-- Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay
That’s hilarious! I can’t even figure out what it means.

“E-Ink-come at a cost”
This statement is the John Starks in Game 7 of the 1994 Finals of pun-making.
ink-come = income
ink-come (come)at a cost
ink-come … cost
Perhaps some of them would make sense if I read the actual piece, but why ruin my fun by doing that…
