Try to guess what the following well-known sayings or ideas are. I'll post the answers in a few days. Refer to anyone you know if you need help with these.

1) A mineral of various composition, when engaged in periodic revolution, exhibits no tendency to accumulate any of the cryptogamic plants of the class muscl.

2) The pursuit and capture of winged, air-breathing anthropods is more easily effected when a sweet, as opposed to sour, substance is, for the purposes of beguilement, made use of: for example, the viscid fluid derived from the saccharine section of a plant and produced by the hymenopterous insects of the family Apoides has proved to be successful in this endevour than has dilute and impure acetic acid.

3) Seeking a suitable place for the purpose of courting a state of dominant quiescence during the first part of the crepuscular period and forsaking said suitable place during the first part of the matinal period, results in myriad benefits to **** sapiens among which benefits may be noted as substantial increase in body soundness, monies, and sagacity.

4) It has been observed that an enclosing barrier, for the purpose of discouraging and preventing intrusion upon which it encloses, tends to enhance the amicability of those whose property abuts said barrier.

5) The positive appeal of a visual object depends not so much upon the objective standards against which said object is measured, nor upon the image said object records upon the retina and optic nerve, as it does upon the cerebral interpretation of the image recorded by the organ of vision of that individual who observes said object.


Example:

Meddlesome inquisitiveness on the part of that domesticated carnivorous member of the zoological family, feline, has brought about the unfortunate bereaving of its vivifying forces.

A rolling stone gathers no moss...

O.o;; as for the others if I actually red them I could probably get it if you gave me a few minutes, but I'm tired and am going to bed now, so I'll check back tomorrow and if nobody else has figured them out I'll sit and think instead of being a bump on a stump for the day as I had planned lol ^^

Got them kind of fast so here's some more

6) From deliberative investigation, it has come to our attention that the aviatorial member of the Phylum Chrodata, which is anticipatory, will invariably apprehend the member of the silent soft-bodied bilateral invertebrates.

7) Experience has demonstrated that the total aggregate of corporeal substances that may emanate transplendency, do not of a necessity represent an embodiment of the precious metallic element, ochre.

8) A plentitude of gourmand-satiating scullions tend to obviate, obstruct, undermine, decompose, and otherwise boggle the mulligatawny.

9) A warm-blooded vertebrate of the class avis grasped in the terminal prehensible portion of the upper limb of the human body is equal in value to one plus one of the aforementioned vertebrate in a shrub.

10) Bubbles of gas, rising from a liquid contained in a vessel, recpetacle, or the like, to the surface of said liquid is a phenomenon not witnessed by those who subject such liquid to searching scrutiny.

Hmmm... let me try my hand at making some of these lol. ;;>.> I'm not too smart so they will probably be kind of easy.

Weak's Extra #1

Any of the genus Rosa varified through any other appellation still conducts the same saccharine olfactory sensations.
