When lacking your own words, steal! (or don't...)
"Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1
Borrowed from a fellow borrower--from the original source (i hope):
"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."
-Albert Einstein
a similar case of borrowing:
"The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."
-Albert Einstein
i created an account and edited my first Wikipedia entry. It was about Chapman University. i also read a record number of entries (for me) and learned some things. Which could be entirely false.
...but prob'ly aren't! (this one's for you Kali--> ask me why later)
Yay learning!
i saw this bird in Irvine Regional Park and then, guess what? It appeared in this article! Crazy!

It truly looked magnificent, too.
14: number of teeth i have on the top row.
14: number of teeth i have on the bottom row.
28: total number of MY teeth!
Orange in anguish! (...ok, so this alreay happened.)

i'm done for now. It's past me bed-time!

wuhwuhwuh!
i have internet!!! Everyone do a dance! i finally got ahold of the guy who set up our system and i now know what the problem is/was and i know how to fix it in the future! Isn't that grand? i think so. In other news, and in relation to the title, apparently the Italians don't have the letter 'w' in their language, and apparently they've only got 22 characters? This is just by hearsay--i'll look it up on wikipedia or something. But anyway, Herr Ter-Jung (Frau Ter-Jungs Mann natürlich!) told me that they just say 'wuhwuhwuh' to mean 'www' since they don't have a w! Crazy! Now that i think about it, it must be quite common actually, especially for folks with non-western characters such as Arabs or the Chinese, for instance.
Update! Apparently, wikipedia says that there are 21 natural characters in the Italian language and the other 5, which exist in English and German for instance, now have modern equivalents and are only used to spell foreign words or borrowed phrases. Coincidentally, the Olympics are also being held in Italy. The only person i can think of who MIGHT read this who knows Italian is Ed. But that's not too likely i don't think. If you know Italian (or any other language other than English) please post it! Maybe even write a word, phrase, or song in this foreign tongue which you deliciously know! Hoo-ha, boy!
