Wave Merriam-Webster in his face. Or, your laptop with the page pulled up and the speakers saying "demon" in a monotone.

Or, maybe don't. I've been going back and forth between daymon and demon, with an emphasis on daymon, for years. Ah, fantasy, where the writers never use a current spelling when an archaic or variant spelling is available.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

IIRC "dee-mon" is default English, "dye-mon" is Latin, and "day-mon" is Greek or Trekkie, and the true geeks spell it with the ligature æ "dæmon."

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Guideline the first: don't call it Gaelic. It's Irish.

Dude. It is Galeic. The Irish happened by a long time after the lingo was in place.

Hi folks! [Waves at ita!] The Lost party was fabulous and it was wonderful to see the beautiful ladies that are Allyson, Kat, Lori and ita live and in person. I snagged a Carlton Cuse interview that'll be up on the Kristin message boards in a few hours and she mentions EMA in the chat. So yay. :)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sophia, that is brilliant! I'm not sure if my cats would acclimate to it but I am bookmarking it and will definitely be giving it a shot.

Just brilliant.

With this? If they got thumbs? They could flush, open their own food and get jobs. Extermination is the obvious calling. Or anything that requires a lot of napping. Perhaps government work.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Cass, I'm sorry , but no thumbs for cats. because what is mildly annoying now, would become very scary and evil.

That's not a cat. Interesting critter, but not a cat.

I don't think I actually want cats to get the opposable thumbs. Because, evil and *able* is a bad combination. But the toilet training? Would be crazy beautiful. Even better than self-trimming claws.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

My cat's is so fascinated with flushing toilets now that I wonder if she would ever grasp the concept of toilet training for herself. Ever since I moved, my new bathroom has provided hours of entertainment for her, since she can now perch on the sink's edge and either (a) scratch at the mirror, (b) watch the toilet flush (I'll leave the seat up while the water's running for her delight), (c) stare at the water coming out of the tap, or (d) wait for me to get out of the shower, laying on my towel and forcing me to fight her for it while I drip in the tub. Oh, and she can almost get the cabinet door open, but the drawers are currently beyond her. Give her opposable thumbs, and they'd be open in a heartbeat.

beth, you need to tell me, what exactly does a hairless cat feel like? I've been annoying Mister Kitty by poking at his shaved spots but I don't think it's quite the same.

Kravvers don't bring you tributes of dead mice. Wait, I was trying for a positive spin on cats, wasn't I? OK, cats don't argue back. In english.
