| Bio: | This little 'bio' really isn't about me. Honestly, I have no plans of making it about anything at all. Sure, some people may use this to tell you witty little tidbits about themselves, or their assumed persona. Some people leave it blank. People like me blather on about absolutely nothing, while secretly wondering how long you, the reader, will tolerate it. While I don't have the stamina to put War and Peace here, I feel fairly confident in my own ability to ramble on at this for a while. About nothing. For example, did you know that the most common type of rock on earth is basalt and that it makes up most of the ocean floor? Fascinating stuff, isn't it. Igneous rocks are all the rage this year at places that I'll likely never go. Certainly someone cares, or there wouldn't be geologists or people who collect facts like that about things like basalt. Also of interest to few, Vanilla Ice's real name is Rob Van Winkle, but is apparently of no relation to the legendary figure of Rip Van Winkle. From the best that I can gather, one was known for his ability to sleep. The other is deadly when he plays a dope melody. I'll pause here for a moment. Alright. Two. The common wart is a viral infection that is caused by the Human papillomavirus. Of course, this is also the same virus that gives people that extra little bump in their sex lives. On the plus side, both usually disappear within a few months. Usually. Sometimes... Well, it's kind of like when you accidentally leave your trash can open and the squirrels get into it, only the next week you remember the lid and the little bastards chew through your can. From there, no matter what you do, the just won't go away. Hell, sometimes you may not even know that Mssr. Papill has come to visit. But, and I must stress this, you never know when he's going to put his stuff in your trunk. The common one? It's caused by the aerobic(meaning it requires air, not that it has bums of varying shapes thrust into the air in rather provocative manners) version. To end on a high note, the virus can also cause mommy cancer, daddy cancer and butt cancer. Aren't you glad you read this far? But wait, there's more. The word nothing? Which was this what this was supposed to be about before I decided to make it as rambly as I could before I lost interest or I grew bored of my playlist... The word is of Old English origins. It is dervied from Naþing....which was derived from nan (meaning "not one") and þing (meaning "thing"). Hence, "not one thing" or nothing. Though I suppose that raises the question as to whether several things could also be nothing. Which is really a stupid question. While I'm at it, the word inane, which has had several close meanings over the years, is from the latin word inanis (meaning empty, void, worthless, useless). Because, if you've gone this far, you needed to know. The world's largest ball of twine is in Cawker City, Kansas. It weighs in at just a bit shy of nine tons and if anyone were ever to take out some sort of bizarre drunken dare that involved grabbing an end and running, they would have to run for over thirteen hundred miles before it wasn't a ball anymore. So if you're trashed and ready to Gump out, have at. A person from Finland who deals in lye is a saippuakivikauppias. Which makes Finnish soapstone sellers the longest palindrome in any language. The longest in the Oxford English dictionary is tattarrattat, which James Joyce made up to describe the sound of someone knocking on a door.....it's been used once. Now, as Brak and the good people at Ghost Planet once said: La da, dee dee dee dee do. La da da doodle do do dada do do be do. Lah dah ba da ba bah ba do do do do Swing your partner 'round and 'round and go to town! Loo do do do do! Now it's time to say goodbye to Zorak and his kin. Thank you folks for kindly doin' stuff and droppin' in. AAAaaaAAAaaaAAAaaaAAAaaaAAAaaaAAAaaaAAA! Have a heapin' helping of our hospitality, deedle deedle dee. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, ev'rybody. | |
