Nothing too fancy today (sorry for missing yesterday, folks)...Fun little website complete with weekly updates and podcasts and the like - all about the simple science of etymology - Take Our Word For It. This week, for example, you can learn why the Klan-centric politician from O Brother, Where Art Thou? was run out of town on a rail.
There are, of course, lots of other etymology sites allowing you to find out what your name means or just what various word origins are without the cool stories associated. Have fun and improve your vocabulary.
It'll help you with all sorts of games.
