In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of word for the day. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the word of the day; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. Practice makes perfect.....post on....
osculate \ohs*cue*late\, verb:
osculated, osculates, osculating; transitive, intransitive verb
osculation; noun
deosculate, deosculation; (fondly)
exosculate, exosculation; (vigorously)
1. To kiss..
2. Mathematics: To have three or more points coincident with.
3. To come together; contact.
A Plain Old Kiss
Some people need a peck or two;
For others a simple smooch will do;
Too many, a graze will stimulate;
A few may want to osculate.
And then, there are those who need a smack,
For flowery words they have a knack.
But all I want from you is bliss,
Which you can give me with a plain, old kiss!
- Arr. Ara John Movsesian Etymology [Latin scul r , scul t-, from sculum, kiss, diminutive of s, mouth. See s- in Indo-European Roots.]

Cambodia rocks! Its a great country, home to one of the greatest man-made treasures of the world, Angkor Wat. A group of at least 50 massive temples all from 8-11th century made of stone. Its like tramping around Indiana Jones territory, they are massive in scale, and some have hundred year old trees growing right into the stonework, with huge roots moving ton stones out of their way.
I visited a landmine museum (they are all over here) and a killing field where the Kmher Rouge killed thousands (3 million in 3.5 years) as well. A fascinating country.
Here is a pic of the biggest temple:"(not my pic)
