<i>From today's WAD:</i>
"It's a good thing we don't have to go with the literal meaning of words or
we'd be exercising in the nude in the gymnasia. The word gymnasium derives from the combining form gymno-, meaning nude or bare. Other words similarly formed are gymoplast (protoplasm without surrounding wall) and <b>gynosophy</b> (a form of philosophy practiced by those refusing to wear clothes)."
Are we missing an <b>/M/</b> here? I surely hope so...

(I give up on trying to use HTML instead of those nonexistent UBB codes... *sigh*)
