    Really? - very cool I must say...never heard of it before...amazing - even possible to learn something from a Mouse... ...never thought it would ever happen!

    Reminds me of a story my father told (hey I got it from somewhere...telling my "stories" etc ) - when he was in college (freshmen) two football geeks tried to haze him by giving him a swirlly in the toilet (face first - etc) - well my dad wasn't having any of it and fought them off...and being as strong as he was (farm boy) - he accidently ended up throwing this one football guy out of a 2nd story window (was just throwing him off)...luckily he landed on some (apparently) soft bush and was not seriously injured. AAnyway my dad said no one ever bothered him again after that!

    My favorite word is - I think - "awesome!" ....its more perhaps the emotion that goes behind saying/writing the word to begin with I think...

    And Hyebruin - wow! (awesome! )....my toungue (and brain) is all tied up in knots!

          Who knows why groups of animals are named in different ways? A school of fish, a pride of lions, a crash of rhinoceroses, a parliament of owls, a murder of crows, an exaltation of larks, a shrewdness of apes, a convocation of eagles, and so on and so forth. WTF?

          Anyway, I also like the word logogogical.

            OMG That took such a long time for me to pronounce....LOL

            I like the word "koskhol".....my friends and I use it excessively.

            "Petrushka" and "poopoolik" are among my favs as well...
