Pancakes on Wednesdays

Welcome to Pancakes on Wednesdays.

Wednesday October 1, 2003

Here is an amalgamation of trivial facts and seemingly useless data.

Do not forget to hit the hyperlinks.

We have links, lots of them.

SCIOLIST

A superficial pretender to knowledge.

Some dictionaries mark this word as archaic. A typical example appears in an article by Thomas Henry Huxley in the Fortnightly Review in 1878: “Judged strictly by the standard of his own time, Bacon’s ignorance of the progress which science had up to that time made is only to be equalled by his insolence toward men in comparison with whom he was the merest sciolist”.

The word, as you might guess from the spelling, comes from Latin. It derives from the verb scire, to know, which is also the root of other English words, like prescient, science, omniscient and conscience. The immediate Latin original was the diminutive sciolus, a person who had only a smattering of knowledge.

The related noun is sciolism, the practice of giving one’s opinions on subjects of which one has only superficial knowledge. That is a little more common, but the only recent example I’ve turned up was written by the American author and playwright Herb Greer in the National Review in 1998: “Tynan’s awful political sciolism sparks out now and again, but not offensively”.

Store it in the back of your mind—you never know when it might come in handy, simultaneously showing your own word power and your opinion of your opponent. By the time he has found a sufficiently large dictionary to discover you’ve insulted him, you can be well away.

It's a little known fact that...
Hostess Twinkies were invented in 1931 by James Dewar, manager of Continental Bakeries' Chicago factory. He envisioned the product as a way of using the company's thousands of shortcake pans which were otherwise employed only during the strawberry season. Originally called Little Shortcake Fingers, they were renamed Twinkie Fingers, and finally "Twinkies."

I read somewhere that until the banana shortage during WWII, Twinkies were banana-flavored. (That was back in the "old days" when they got flavors from real foods.)

Wise observations

by an Anonymous Male Author

1. Now that food has replaced sex in my life, I can't even get into my own pants.

2. The closest I ever got to a 4.0 in school was my blood alcohol content.

3. Marriage changes passion... suddenly you're in bed with a relative.

4. I saw a woman wearing a sweat shirt with "Guess" on it... so I said, "Implants" ...wrong answer!

5. I don't do drugs anymore 'cause I find I get the same effect just standing up fast.

6. A sign in a Chinese Pet Store: "Buy one dog, get one flea."

7. I have my own little world. But it's okay, they know me here.

8. Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with.

9. I got a sweater for Christmas... I really wanted a screamer or a moaner.

10. If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

11. I don't approve of political jokes... I've seen too many get elected.

12. The most precious thing we have is life. Yet it has absolutely no trade in value.

13. There are two sides to every divorce: Yours and butthead's.

14. If life deals you lemons, make lemonade; if it deals you tomatoes, make Bloody Mary's. But if it deals you a truckload of hand grenades... now, THAT's a message!!!

15. I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.

16. Shopping tip: You can get shoes for 85 cents at the bowling alley.

17. I am a nobody, and nobody is perfect, therefore I am perfect.

18. I married my wife for her looks... but not the ones she's giving me lately!

19. Everyday I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've stayed alive.

20. If carrots are so good for the eyes, how come I see so many dead rabbits
on the highway.

21. How come we get to choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?

22. Why is it that most nudists are people you don't want to see naked?

23. Snowmen fall from Heaven unassembled.

24. Everytime I walk into a singles bar I can hear Mom's wise words: "Don't pick that up, you don't know where it's been."

BRATTFawnn!

I'm feelin' the love for #50!!!

[Fawnn]

What? They didn't have chemicals?

I think they did, it's just that they would have had to walk ten miles barefoot to get them, so they never thought it was worth the effort. (And they were correct!) ;)

I'm out of here 'til latersssssssss.
