I'll have you know I'm currently thinking on a new thread idea about that very thing (the history of sayings). The only thing I'm missing is one or two very choice "wells" from which to gather my info and research.
One of my first queued submissions whenever I finally get around to starting this thread will be the origins of the phrase an "angel of death".
