OED: Limerick
The OEDILF - Forum Powered by Infopop
There is a team attempting to rewrite the Oxford English Dictionary (that master repository of all things English-language) in Limerick form. And they are doing it-- in what seems to be a throwback to a great punch line by Douglas Adams-- in alphabetical order. They are hoping to have it done sometime in the next century...
Seriously.
This is precisely the sort of obsessive, geeky thing the World Wide Web was invented for, right?
(Thanks to reader (and good friend) Dazed_and_Confucius for the link...)

I'd point out the name is Dazed_and_Confucius, not Dazed and Confucius. That's the type of obsessive geeky thing us web surfers bother with ;-)
And now my biggest distinction is reader? Not friend, pal, aquaintance, or fellow semi-anonymous-self-cyber-puffing?

Dazed, babe, come on! I know your real name, you know mine. Good friend? Of course you are!
But by calling you a "reader", I encourage other readers, people I _haven't_ had lunch with, people whose high school graduations I _didn't_ attend to send in links...

Fair enough, all is forgiven ;-)
*hugs* man
