the same sovereign, servants of the same law."

http://wiki.ytmnd.com/Dew_Army]"Dew Army" YTMNDs.
I once spent the better of a saturday glued to a computer, with YTMND up finding http://floor.ytmnd.com/]FLOOOORS, http://lamination.ytmnd.com/]LAMINATION, and http://noplatestoohigh.ytmnd.com/]PLATES TOO HIGH and http://achooo.ytmnd.com/]such. The mental image this calls to mind of Merriam-Webster researchers looking through a bunch of Dew Army YTMNDs like I did almost makes me giggle.
Anyway, the Internet churns this stuff out 24-7; I don't think they'll be hurting for examples.
