Clown-spotting

A Western Washington University study about to be published shows that people using their cell phones are not readily distracted, even by a clown on a unicycle. According to the research, cell phone usage and the concentration that goes with it disrupts even the most basic of activities like walking. What the WBF staff found most interesting about the study report was this paragraph: "Observers interviewed about 150 college-age individuals who had crossed the square and passed by a clown unicycling around a prominent sculpture. The clown was a student of Hyman's who happened to own both a unicycle and a clown suit. "It's not everyday you have a student like that," Hyman said." Think he owns any juggling balls?

Reunited and it feels so good...

The fine folks over at Reincarnation Bank think you and your assets should be together always -- even in the next life! Their website sez: " If you leave nothing purposefully behind when you die, then what is there here for you when you return?" Exactly! Of course, according to their terms and conditions, you can only claim your deposits after your demise and may be subject to verification through regression. That makes perfect sense, right? Just keep your fingers crossed you come back as human.

Hatin' on crud, pus, pimple, ointment, goiter, & moist

Ben Zimmer over at Visual Thesaurus sez in yesterday's column that the word moist is so reviled it has its own Facebook group called "I HATE the word MOIST!" He goes on to say: "It's difficult to find any unifying thread for these words that get people's goat. But much like the enjoyable words on the 'favorites' list like serendipity and mellifluous, there's a certain sound/sense combination that sparks these word aversions. Why does moist merit a Facebook group of haters, while hoist and joist go unnnoticed? It's more than just the sound of the word: the disliked words tend to have some basic level of ickiness. As I told the Albany Times Union, this ickiness can have to do with slimy stuff, bodily discharge, or other things that people would prefer not to think about. Icky words include nostril, crud, pus, and pimple. Ointment and goiter share the "oi" sound with moist: there must be something about that diphthong that gets under people's skin." The WBF staff talked amongst ourselves and decided we think the word icky is icky.
