Last night, M-High or whatever her secret name is mentioned that she was learning about morphs in her into linguistics course. I learned about them by the name of morphemes, but it's all pretty much the same thing. (Morphs are vocal, morphemes are written, from what I understand. Linguists of the world, throw off your chains and correct me.) She mentioned that the term "morph" always makes her thing of Animorphs, and so we all had a good laugh about it.

Except it got me thinking - what about animorphemes? You know, morphemes that refer to animals?

I started to name off animorphemes from the top of my head (well, just the one - ichthyo), but everyone else made fun of me enough that I stopped. But in my head, I kept going. Here's the list I have so far:

ichthyo-
ornitho-
apio-
malaco-
primato-
ceto-
arachno-
entomo-
herpeto-
myrmeco-
plankto-

Further additions are always accepted, but I think this is a pretty solid list. Heh. Animorphemes.

You know how married couples here tend to get joint blogs? And how it's like "Facebok for married people"? And how I don't have one?

CITIZENS OF THE INTERNET, WORRY NO LONGER.

Geniune. and I are starting a blog, but you won't have to worry about sappy pictures or baby drooling or any of the other hallmarks of married blogs. (Would you expect anything like that from us, anyway?) Just bizarre conversations we have while we're falling asleep.

Seriously already, check it out. You won't regret it.

More fun with Wikipedia:

If you can't see it, it's a succession table I created for Wendy's Baconator, listing it as the current Official Wendy's Bacon Sandwich and current Greatest Burger. Sometimes, I wonder if I have too much fun with this website.

I thought I might be a bad person when I started beatboxing to "I Am a Child of God" during General Conference today, but I knew I was when I started imagining a trip-hop remix of the song by Portishead or Massive Attack.

It was a pretty cool remix, though.
