Sporty Sky

The other night, the moon and stars were arranged in such a way that it looked as though Orion was using the moon to shoot hoops. Tonight, the somewhat flattened moon is above and a bit behind Orion, and it looks as though he were a receiver going out for a pass. All these games, free! And not even a Buger King commercial.

Fun Test

This test of word power at etymologic consists of ten questions, on pages that load quickly, and is both entertaining and informative. Learn some word origins. I have a fairly decent vocabulary, and got only 8 of the ten right, so it is reasonably challenging.

UPDATE: Okay, I can't get the link to work, even though it is exactly right. Feh.

Further update: I take back what I said about my fairly decent vocabulary. It is etymologic, not entymologic! D'oh! Thanks to scapegoatee for pointing out the error.

AURORA
