Just two quick things tonight.
First, this from Dictionary.com:
Word of the Day for Saturday, January 29, 2011
cacoethes \kak-oh-EE-theez\, noun:
An irresistible urge; mania.
Cacoethes stems from the Greek kakoethes, a combination of the roots kakos, "bad," and ethes, "character." The word occurs famously in Juvenal's Latin phrase insanabile scribendi cacoethes, "incurable passion for writing."
I *love* that the famous usage is for an "incurable passion for writing!" Now if only it was easier to say... (and spell)
Second, this hilarious (and pathetic and true) comic from Dueling Analogs (via my husband Ben).
