Frankly, I'd feel more fortunate with a dull decade...... It's like that alleged Chinese curse about interesting times. noblenet.org That one is apparently slightly newer than the ancient "picture is worth a thousand words" proverb: One look is worth a thousand words was coined by Fred R. Barnard in Printers' Ink, 8th December 1921, p.96. He changed it to One picture is worth a thousand words in Printers' Ink, 10th March 1927, p.114 and called it "a Chinese Proverb so that people would take it seriously". ask-a-librarian.org.uk William Safire had a great column on that last one, but it didn't show up quickly on google.
