Just don't go sticking your Peewee in Burning Springs...:worried:

Beest 08-24-2016 03:43 PM

I would think that's a Given, though you know Ravenswood.

Gravdigr 08-25-2016 12:58 PM

But, will Owdale?

Today (last night, actually) I learned about P-factor.

Today I learned why they're called the Dry Tortugas.

No fresh water.

Wiki quote:

Quote:

The islands get their name from their distinctive characteristics: Turtles, because Ponce de León, a Spanish explorer, saw several big sea turtles on the island. Soon afterward, the word "Dry" was added to the name, to indicate to mariners the islands' lack of springs.

No springs? Must be a rough ride.

I think the song "Relax" (lyrics), by Frankie Goes To Hollywood might just be about giving head, or getting head, or something.

Or am I completely off base? Is my Slip showing?

Today I learned that this thing --> ÷ is called an obelus.

I also learned that this thing --> ¶ is called a pilcrow.

Because Nat'l Punctuation Day.

Obelus. Got it. Thx

I learned that tie-dying is just one type of Shibori

Today I learned that the individual "balls" on raspberries and blackberries are called drupelets

Clodfobble 10-01-2016 08:27 PM

And yet they are not drupaceous fruits (aka stonefruit), those being comprised instead of one single drupe.

monster 10-01-2016 08:29 PM

so true ......but drupaceous is infinitely less useful in Scrabble and WWF ;)
