Solution to the world's energy problems?

Random thought of the, well, month, I suppose, seeing as it's been at least that long since I updated. A month during which I managed to screw up the one great thing that happened to me all year. What can I say, old habits die hard.

Right. Digression. So the phrase "turning over in one's grave" is used to mean that someone already dead would be insulted or upset. To take this idea further, there's the phrase "spinning in one's grave," as if to say the corpse is turning over and over. Today I heard someone say "spinning in her grave like a lathe" on the radio, as if the idea of a dead body moving at all was not enough.

So in the spirit of taking this idiom to unnecessary extremes, I propose "spinning in her grave so violently you could hook up an electrical generator and power a small city" be added to the lexicon.
