Quote of the Day: "I think that carrying on a life that is meant to be private in public is a breach of taste, common sense, and mental hygiene." — Myrna Loy (08/02/1905 – 12/14/1993), US actor.

Word of the Day: behemoth \bih-HEE-muhth\, noun: 1. Any creature or thing of monstrous size or power. 2. An animal, perhaps the hippopotamus, mentioned in the Book of Job.

In context: “All the sportive rollickings of all the animals, from the agile fawn to the unwieldly behemoth, are dances taught them by nature.” — Ambrose Bierce, They All Dance.

(Behemoth derives from the Hebrew b'hemoth in the Book of Job, but may be a folk etymology of Egyptian pehemau, "water-ox," the name for the hippopotamus.)
