terminal magniloquence may not be contagious

ok, you know what?

PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS.

that's black lung disease (at least, I think it is; I've never actually looked it up -- mum and I just guessed from the greek and latin bases when I had to give a definition). I chose it for a spelling word in 4th grade.




because antidisestablishmentarianism was easy.

But antidisestablishmentarianism is more fun to say.

"Stewardesses" is the longest word you can type with your left hand, alone. (Assuming you type in the traditional sense... And have both hands.)

*random info for random info* :p

psh, yeah right.

mm, HOWEVER... how many teeth do mosquitoes have? that is the Question.

Didn't you say, the other day, that it was 42?

XD See! You taught 'me' something, and I'm a cough-ridden simpleton! Congrats, Teach.

And g'night.

wait... 42's the ANSWER, not the question!

...and I feel stupid because I got out on "leprechaun" in my 2nd-grade spelling bee. Thanks Mel, you re-opened that old wound, I'm going to go cry now.

uh, yeah, exactly. which is why "how many teeth do mosquitoes have?" is the Question.

I've gotten out on the words 'electricity', 'happiness', 'repel', and 'aggression'. in that order. no, I will never forget. stupid double-letters.

I'll agree with you on the stupid double letters - I got out on sheriff. Which I did know how to spell, but they wanted to narrow down the group some more, so they said that you couldn't re-start, then changed the rule back to being allowed to re-start four people down the line.

Correct, it is black lung disease :).

I used to be able to spell that... then it got shifted to the back of my 'useless but cool' information stack. Woe.

Niftiness on the knowing it though :).

Ah, you may be able to spell long medical terms, but do you know what the cry of a cocalooney sounds like?

Or that, while stewardesses is the longest word you can type with only your left hand, lollipop is the longest word you can type with only your right hand?

Or that there are 110 ridges on a dime? Or an average of 174 sesame seeds on a McDonald's hamburger?

Yes, I am a compendium of useless information.
