WELKIN |
The sky; heaven; the firmament We dont use this much nowadaysdictionaries usually tag it as archaic or literaryexcept in the set phrase make the welkin ring, meaning to make a very loud sound. What supposedly rings in this situation is the vault of heaven, the bowl of the sky. In older cosmology this was thought to be one of a set of real crystal spheres that enclosed the Earth, to which the planets and stars were attached, so it would have been capable of ringing like a bell if you made enough noise. The word comes from the Old English wolcen, a cloud, related to the Dutch wolk and German Wolke. Very early on, for example in the epic poem Beowulf of about the eighth century AD, the phrase under wolcen meant under the sky or under heaven (the bard used the plural, wolcnum, but its the same word). Ever since, it has had a strong literary or poetic connection. It appears often in Shakespeare and also in Chaucers Canterbury Tales: This day in mirth and revel to dispend, / Till on the welkin shone the starres bright. In 1739, a book with the title Hymns and Sacred Poems introduced one for Christmas written by Charles Wesley that began: Hark! how all the welkin rings, / Glory to the King of kings. If that seems a little familiar, it is because 15 years later it reappeared as Hark! the herald-angels sing / Glory to the new born king. |

28 29 October 2004 The Greatest. ALI. Clay comes out to meet Liston And Liston starts to retreat If Liston goes back any further He'll end up in a ringside seat. Clay swings with a left, Clay swings with a right, Look at young Cassius Carry the fight. Liston keeps backing But there's not enough room It's a matter of time. There, Clay lowers the boom. Now Clay swings with a right, What a beautiful swing, And the punch raises the bear, Clear out of the ring. Liston is still rising And the ref wears a frown, For he can't start counting, Till Sonny comes down. Now Liston disappears from view. The crowd is getting frantic, But our radar stations have picked him up. He's somewhere over the Atlantic. Who would have thought When they came to the fight That they'd witness the launching Of a human satellite? Yes, the crowd did not dream When they laid down their money That they would see A total eclipse of the Sonny! I am the greatest! Cassius Clay before the first Liston-bout\

36 24 December 2003 I'm the pancake man, And I do, when I can, Eat pancakes by the score; I bake them brown, And swallow them down, And loudly call for more. I'll lay my stakes That a million cakes I can eat between two naps; Then call for more, A million and four, Or a million and five, perhaps. It makes me fat, And more than that, I'm jolly through and through; I've been known to laugh For a year and a half,___ Or why not call it two Oh, I long for a cake As big as they make,___ Say, fifty townships wide; I would handle it quite At a single bite And stow it away inside. ___John Edward Everett

Today's FEEBLE
![](http://images3.fotki.com/v27/photos/5/55348/267509/friedeggpillow-vi.jpg)
YOKE:
In light of the success of Viagra, Pfizer is developing a whole line of drugs oriented towards improving the performance of men in today's society. Here are a few of the new ones:
DIRECTRA - a dose of this drug given to men before leaving on car trips caused 72 percent of them to stop and ask directions when they got lost, compared to a control group of 0.2 percent.
PROJECTRA - Men given this experimental new drug were far more likely to actually finish a household repair project before starting a new one.
COMPLIMENTRA - In clinical trials, 82 percent of middle-aged men administered this drug noticed that their wives had a new hairstyle. Currently being tested to see if its effects extend to noticing new clothing.
BUYAGRA - Married and otherwise attached men reported a sudden urge to buy their sweeties expensive jewelry and gifts after taking this drug for only two days. Still to be seen: whether the drug can be continued for a period longer than your favorite store's return limit.
NEGA-VIAGRA - Has the exact opposite effect of Viagra. Currently undergoing clinical trials on U.S. politicians and lawyers.
NEGA-SPORTAGRA - This drug had the strange effect of making men want to turn off televised sports and actually converse with other family members.
FLATULAGRA - This complex drug is aimed at making it more pleasant to make long automobile trips with certain men.
FLYAGRA - This drug has been showing great promise in treating men with O.F.D. (Open Fly Disorder).
PRYAGRA - About to fail its clinical trial, this drug gave men in the test group an irresistible urge to dig into the personal affairs of other people. Note: Accidental overdose turned three test subjects into "special prosecutors."
LIAGRA - This drug causes men to be more truthful when being asked about their affairs. Will be available in Regular, Grand Jury and Presidential Strength versions.
