Thick with needles
In Alas Babylon, Mark Bragg says that four enemy submarines were found where there should not have been any. He says looking for submarines is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but if you shake a haystack and four needles fall out, “chances are that haystack is just thick with needles.”
I can’t imagine why that quote came back to me as the fifth ACORN video came out last night.
