max Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Originally posted by Phanerothyme WTG on Nephology venger - Googled and googled and missed it completely - was going to guess Nebulology, but its a bit of a mouthful. Words are like buses, you wait and wait and then the same word comes along twice. Coincidence or is The Times watching us? Nephology In today's word watching they have the word NEPHELIGENOUS which means producing clouds of smoke from the Greek néphos, a cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Miguel Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 There are more people speak Spanish as a first language in the USA than in Spain itself. There are more people attend Manchester United's home games than the entire population of Greenland - the largest island in the world. In winter it is possible to walk across the Bering Straits on the ice from Russia to the USA ( Alaska). There are one million ants for every human being on the planet.(Must have been someone really dedicated to count them all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
