Did you know the word "monosyllable" actually has five syllables in it ?

"Useless information volume 3"

How about this one:

The only 15-letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is "uncopyrightable."

No wonder I am so in love with open source.

Lordy, I am so glad you pointed this out. This has been bothering me for years. Now I know why my Oreos never taste right.

"Useless information volume 4"

This is a good one for burners:

Clans of long ago that wanted to get rid of their unwanted people without killing them would burn their houses down--hence the expression "to get fired."

Very badly indeed. I thought I was doing a single nanny goat a favor by getting her a job in the bar, but she was seduced, abandoned and eaten this weekend. The blood on my hands will not wash out.

"Useless information volume 5"

This one is for you bay area residents.

The Miwok AmerInd word Tamalpais means mountain, so every time you call it Mount Tamalpais you are being redundant.

So if you are calling it Mount Tam, you are really saying "mount mount"?

Don't get all antsy Crypt...

Incidentally, antsy in the Miwok langauge would be spelled ansi and it actually means man.

Are you feeling ansi this morning?

I would think that oreos would require a merlot, or even a shiraz... Here's some Ironstone merlot... goes great with goat.... uh.... oops.... so I'm told... I wouldn't know.... uh....

"Useless information volume 7"

The word 'nerd' was coined by Dr. Seuss in his book 'If I ran the Zoo'

I wonder who coined the word geek, I'm fairly certain I know who coined geekster =)

YW Z... I've got no problem with fish slime... I'm already coated with...

hmm, I better keep that to myself for now. Let's just say I need a shower anyway. ;-o

Deer hunting season opened this past weekend in Minnesota, just heard on the radio that hunter took down a llama, on a farm adjacent to the one he was given permission to hunt on. It's not a good time to take nature hikes around here unless your wearing blaze orange
