Do you like the moon thingie I added to the sidebar? I've found it frightfully entertaining! (yes, a sad commentary, i know) I've learned a new word:
gibbous
Main Entry: gib·bous
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French gibbeux, from Late Latin gibbosus humpbacked, from Latin gibbus hump
1 a : marked by convexity or swelling
b of the moon or a planet : seen with more than half but not all of the apparent disk illuminated
2 : having a hump : HUMPBACKED
(thanks, merrian-webster.com!)
Full moon tonight! Aaawwwoooooooo!

I love it!
so interesting, and I didn't know gibbous either.
do you get the mirriam-webster word of the day. I look forward to seeing what it will be. I usually only know half of them. (and I never know how to spell any of them...)
