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. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

"Methyl bromide is a colorless gas at room temperature and a colorless liquid .... It is odorless and nonirritating at low concentrations and has a musty or fruity odor at high concentrations. Because of its poor physiologic warning properties, up to 2% chloropicrin, a lachrimator, often is added as a warning agent."

what a veritable font you are, bwt. may i call you bwt...? ; )
i am so sad, i am not a prankster. i had so wanted to pull off some sort of april fools joke, but i am just incapable!
So that chemical is actually a letumakeitear, eh?
I'm really not good at jokes/pranks so I can't honestly say I've ever gotten the upper hand on anyone, but had a doozy pulled on me back in 1983.
I had been at my first job in radio news for less than 6 months in Dover. The phone ringing at 6am woke me up....it was the news director telling me to get out of bed and get downtown to the Capitol complex because an Air Force C-5 had just crashed there.
Well my dear friend Dave knew me and my habits very well.....I started throwing on clothes all the while asking him 9million questions.....then hung up to get my gear and get downtown......just as I was closing the door the phone rang again, and since this was back in the days before cell phones I had to answer it. Thank goodness I did.
You guessed it - it was him.........shouting April Fool.
It's more than 20 years later and I still haven't gotten back at him for that.
that was a great one!
I've been tempted to pick up the phone and call him at work - but just can't think of something believable enough.
Ick. Chappateddy.
FPL is just clueless, about so many things. He lacks much and not just his or her mose.
No surprise you work in the nude. Shame you were wasted on radio.....
Oh wait, I want to be in the first row when Gabz tears you a new one for that comment.......ok, I'm ready..... Gabby, you may begin
You're so bad...............
You owe him a serious prank!!
