Nouvel et Amélioré

Can something really be new and improved??

That doesn't make any sense to me, because the whole point of being new is originality...if its already been done before than its not new. But improved suggests its something old that has just been changed around to be better. The only way it can really make sense is if you're talking about something like a physical recipe for something [bike tires, lemonade, whatev.] Cause then the recipe is physically new, but an improved version of the old one.

Anyways...just thought I'd share.

I'm not a mad man. I was just kidding.

"In the ancient recipe, the three antidotes for dullness or boredom are sleep, drink, and travel. It is rather feeble. From sleep you wake up, from drink you become sober, and from travel you come home again. And then where are you? No, the two sovereign remedies for dullness are love or a crusade." - D. H. Lawrence
