Akash: Half of the world. What is it ? The world is divided up into seas and continents. There are hot places and there are cold. There are many religions in the world. There are animals, insects, fish etc. There are gases, liquids, metals etc. There is man and woman. There is good and bad. There is happy and sad. The answer is non of the above or even closely related to the above. need help with this one and ASAP....

rick: wait, is the name of your font "big gay"?

sushiesque: currently, the name of my font is "this is a test". I've only done I, J, and H (in that order), and it gets bigger and gayer with each successive letter.

Quise: Ok I have a riddle for you all. "my presence is needed, even though many do like like me around, I can create life and sound but also cause fear..... what am I?

Jack Morava: You might like `The Crying of Lot 49' by Thomas Pynchon (nowhere near as good as Valis, tho). There's a huge wiki page about it... (:+{)}

Books

disghibelline. v. 1. According to the Oxford English Dictionary: "To distinguish, as a Guelph from a Ghibelline." 2. One of many fanciful entries at risk as the OED gets some long-overdue revisions.

Buddhistenführer. n. A title bestowed upon the Dalai Lama by the German press, along with geistlicher Anführer ("sounds like a gang lord with some spiritual inclinations").

sudorific. adj. 1. Causing perspiration. Or, as the OED puts it, "diaphoretic." 2. One of ten definitions I couldn't guess in the process of "donating" a thousand grains of rice via the addictive charity/vocabulary quiz FreeRice.com. (Thanks, Lulu!)
