The more you know!

Check it out: Harpo Marx, right? Quiet guy. Something like that. Did you know that there's an Egyptian god of silence named Harpocrates?

Still no Wikipedia entry on Grouchocrates.







I've also got a very bad idea that I hope nobody will be interested in pursuing. A little holiday searching through Amazon.com turned up Pirates of the Caribbean-themed "Life" and "Battleship" games. Pardon me, Pirates of the Caribbean, 2: Cthulhu's Chest. I was just thinking that you could use this technique to make Scrabble twice as irritating as it already is by playing "Scrabble of the Caribbean," in which only piratical words are allowed. It would be just like "Barbies of the Caribbean" and "Ponies of the Caribbean," minus the swarthy fashions.

Man-oh-jeez I am so tired of pirates.

Hmm. Would Grouchocrates still ask, "What's the secret word?" and waggle his big god eyebrows?
