The trick, Eddie, is not to be ignorant of
what an 'onager' is. And no, it's not the
Roman seige engine definition.

Oberginsky, tovarich, you are assuming I don't know what "onager" means.
Big mistake.  You forget I'm Mr. Ed and I know when there are wild asses
in my family line.  As a matter of fact, my wife has a wild ass!  (she
made me say that)

I don't think House was referring to the military sling.  My use of
ignoramus refers to House's "Prove it!" since it is a damn fact that
NASA was/is/always will be a military agency.  BTW, it's not seige, it's
siege.
