tribology is today's AWAD.

today's wwftd (by some -logy coincidence) is iridology. dr. bill wrote telling me of an
embarassing moment in iridology. "I failed to detect a glass eye. I still feel the shame of it. I had omitted palpation."

slightly less embarassing (I would imagine), it escaped my notice that iridology falls into this week's AWAD theme, in that one shouldn't conclude that it has to do with the study of rainbows.

Look deep into my eyes, man; I don't believe in skeptics.

If you say so. At least we've been assured that it's not at all taxing.

Wrongo, Bridget, it is only the elder Bush who says
""read my lips" the younger Bush says..." read my guns".

You and Bridget are both wrongo, themilum.

The younger Bush says "read 'em his rites".

Everyone's entitled to their last rites. :)

Oh yeah! What about communist, wierdo, pinko, capitalistic pigs? Huh?

Besides, I was just trying to be apolitical.
