For the 'Writer's Block' section on livejournal, they have the question 'Are you celebrating Cinco de Mayo?' What the hell is Cinco de Mayo????!!!! So I thought I'd find out for the people who are as ignorant of it as I am.
It's a Mexican holiday on 5th May to commemorate the victory of Mexico over the French in the Battle of Puebla. And apparently it's not Mexico's independence day (that's on 16th September). So there you are. You've learned something of great interest, courtesy of Wikipedia!
Oh yeah, and last night, I came across the word parricide (the murder of a parent), so I thought I'd look up siblicide (it's the obvious next step, isn't it?!), and it wasn't there! But I wasn't going to give up! I had to look it up in a couple more dictionaries, but I found it!!!!! Siblicide is a word in the English language!!!! I may have to commit siblicide now to bring the word into the public's awareness... I'll insist that the media tell the world that I committed siblicide.
On that happy note, I'll leave you.
No, I won't! Not until I tell you the other great word I found! Soporific! Does that sound cool or what?! It means causing sleep, especially by drugs. Sounds like 'soprano' and 'terrific'. Brilliant! I could commit siblicide using soporific methods...
