  3. Oh, P.S.
    I had misspelt it-- variOcele.
    Not that it was the Word, anyway. No relation...

    My kids may have been the last children in the US to get chickenpox... what a nightmare THAT was.

  5. apparently this was a misjudgment on my part. i had no idea this wasn't common knowledge. sorry, everyone. but hey, lane is right--at least you learned something.

    am i the only harry potter fan who tried "erumpent" on mike's word? it's a closer upper bound than anything else i've seen.
