Taxonomy rant!
NPR is National Public Radio. Local community colleges generally carry it on
their stations. Each Sunday at around 8:35 eastern time, the puzzle editor of the NY Times, Will Shortz, joins the program along with the winner of the previous weeks winner. He then presents a word puzzle for the listener to solve, in parts. It's fun. "Swifties" are Tom Swifties, where a statement is attributed to Tom (or another individual) and a descriptive word is added at the end. For example: "The bypass was successful, the cardiologist said heartily!" More word fun here, including the occasional swifties: http://www.miniclip.com/games/hangaroo-2/en/ Diana "wendy7" wrote in message news:dQFPg.15377$WK4.5289@fed1read06...
