Monday, January 16, 2006 Topical
On the calendar my friends sent me, Sunday the 15th of January was "Speak a Different Language Day". I prefered Underwear Day, but that comes but once a year.
I learnt a new word today( for the purposes of content challenge, "yesterday"). One definition, according to urbandictionary.com is "Someone or something that burns coal."
Here the contributor gives an example: The locomotive was a coal burner, giving it the awesome power of eighteen mighty horses. I heard it in another context that had little to do with the world of railroads.
Now I'm reading old Calvin and Hobbes strips in Spanish, and I feel so smart! I totally speak Spanish, because I know exactly what they're saying. The idea that I know them all from memory is a foolish one that flies in the face of Occam's Razor. posted by Frenz | 1/16/2006 01:02:00 AM
