One of the earliest recorded (in print) statement is from 1782 "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" (Dangerous Liasons) by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos; though there are similar proverbs/idioms existing in many languages and cultures - Sicilian, Pashtun, etc. So it's a bit hard to say where it really started. But WAY before Star Trek! (Sorry, it's the English teacher in me that couldn't let it slide!)Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855310458397308294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-62181130278173078872009-05-31T18:56:10.787-07:002009-05-31T18:56:10.787-07:00ROFTL!
