Is that the one about 'if one green bottle should accidentally fall there'll be 9 GBHOTW?

T L O M = √ A E
is the correct one, Biblically speaking.
Although, strictly, the love of money is not the square root of all evil!


Try these:

I T .: I A

as the philosopher said.

I think this one is Biblical:

N S > H M

[birdman]

Is that the one about 'if one green bottle should accidentally fall there'll be 9 GBHOTW?
Sure is!
T L O M = √ A E
is the correct one, Biblically speaking.
Although, strictly, the love of money is not the square root of all evil!
Spot on again!
I T .: I A

I think, therefore I am.

As for N S > H M
I am forced to defer...

[Paul Rule]

So far so good only 5 answers requirded (C, K, O, Q & S)
