And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Bwahahaha!

What do the University of Oregon's history department in Eugene, Ore.; the Happy Ending bar in Manhattan; and the Abstinence Clearinghouse in Sioux Falls, S.D. have in common?

According to Google Maps, the for-free location and driving instructions service that the San Francisco-based search giant operates, all are identified as houses of ill repute.

American users who enter their Zip codes in the search field at Google Maps, then type in "brothel" (without the quotation marks) are shown a map with various business and organizations identified as, yes, bordellos.

I wonder how many words there are in English for a brothel. (brodello, whorehouse, and?)

Yeah, I'm a little unclear on "stew" as well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Crib is old -- I know I just read it in a story about gold-rush era Alaska.
