 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

 CAMEL, n. A quadruped (the _Splaypes humpidorsus_) of great value to the show business. There are two kinds of camels --the camel proper and the camel improper. It is the latter that is always exhibited.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Do not free a camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.
  G. K. Chesterton

 It's totally untrue. I keep hearing that and I just shake my head. The AFC Championship Game last year may have been the straw that broke the camel's back, but the camel was already well-saddled-up. We were going to do something about it already.

 I wonder if it's going to be a test too far. They're changing the length, the range and the format all at once, so it could prompt the same kind of backlash among students and admissions offices alike as the new SAT has. It's true that the old test didn't do a good job of predicting graduate school performance, but when you add in everything everybody asks for, you get a camel — a camel being a horse built by committee.
