The spiral staircase of life?

This was nice to see:

Someone who knows what mortal coil is! That little bit ‘o Shakespeare gets misused all the time.

    I thought I knew what it meant. Then I read your post and I wasn’t sure. What if I’ve been wrong all these years? Clicked the wiki link .. and I was right. I did know.

    I feel so good about myself.
