Mission Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 They preserved the spelling! Very nice. (I love the word "firkin".) Aqua vitae seems to mean 'brandy' during the GAoP in my medical texts, but it is also a general word for distilled spirits. (In Latin it means "water of life." ) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I love the word "firkin".) Aqua vitae seems to mean 'brandy' during the GAoP in my medical texts, but it is also a general word for distilled spirits. (In Latin it means "water of life." ) Damn, thats sharp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
