And that makes me sad.

Because of the amount of writing that I have had to due for final projects, I have recently realized that I am much more verbose than I thought I was. Three times in the past week I have been writing, and paused because I used a word that I did not know that I knew. I the first instance, I was writing an essay for a scholarship contest and I found myself using the word "efficacy." Not anything too fancy, but I didn't know that I really knew what the word meant. So I referred to our good buddy dictionary.com, and come to see it, I used it properly. This also happened twice tonight. Apparently I can learn vocabulary by osmosis.

I'm going to sleep with a dictionary under my pillow.

It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies:The Japanese eat relatively little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.The Japanese drink relatively little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.The Italians drink generous amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and other fatty foods and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Was looking around on the "Internet" and came across an interesting flash animation.
