   Hello, All!   
      
   From THE FIRST MEN IN THE MOON   
   by H. G. Wells:   
      
   =========Beginning of the citation==============   
      Why had we come to the moon? The thing presented itself to  me  as  a   
   perplexing problem. What is this spirit in man that urges him  for  ever   
   to depart from happiness and security, to  toil,  to  place  himself  in   
   danger, to risk even a reasonable certainty of death? It dawned upon  me   
   up there in the moon as a thing I ought always to have known,  that  man   
   is not made simply to go about being safe and comfortable and  well  fed   
   and amused. Almost any man, if you put the thing to him, not  in  words,   
   but in the shape of opportunities, will  show  that  he  knob  as  much.   
   Against his interest, against his  happiness,  he  is  constantly  being   
   driven to do unreasonable things. Some force not himself impels him, and   
   go he must. But why? Why?   
   =========The end of the citation================   
      
      "Almost any man, if you put the thing to him, not in words, but in   
   the shape of opportunities, will show that he knob as much."   
      
   What does it mean "will show that he knob as much."?   
      
   PS: besides, let chew it out a bit more:   
      
   Almost any man... (GW speaks of a single man.)   
   ... will show that he knob as much. (I don't know what "knob" means, it seems   
   that it is a verb and it must be "knobs"??)   
      
   Bye All!
