Another interesting one from TV. Do you know the origins of 'freelance' ?

Off the top of my head I'd say it might be related to samurai traditions.

I'll be brief as I'm suffering another migraine. From Wikipedia:

The idea was to get the dwarf to do his own homework.

:-( sorry. I should have read between the lines (but people keep
telling me off for that).

Eh? Now I'm confused. A freelancer is one whose services are not bound
to a lord, a ronin is a samurai is one whose services are not bound a
lord... this was the relation I saw when I made my comment and in case I
haven't already then permit me to offer my apologies for my obscurity but
I'm uncertain what homework was seen as necessary.
