St. Moritz in Switzerland is known for its famous spas and baths where many go to for cures. Maybe you should go and take a physic there to heal?

I remember it as 186,000 miles per second -not just a good idea, it's the law - a take off on the change in the 1970's to 55 mph speed limits which used the phrase.

Yes, and that makes it a much better catchphrase. But I think somebody must have copyrighted that, which is why the copycats came up with the gravity one.
