Thanks for the heads up, Sluggo...you saved me a few bucks!
I'm not the brightest guy, but don't think I need the "what is a word" deal.

Yeah, I'd like to be able to see that as well. By habit (and training) I hit the space bar twice at the end of a sentence. However, I'm not sure that any of the forums I haunt double-space after a sentence...in fact, I'm sure none of them do. Not being very techy, I wouldn't know but that it may no...

Thanks...it says etymology unknown. I know about Mt. Olympus, heck I've been there...but still wonder about what the word means literally.

Olympia/Olympic/Olympian
Ok, I'm looking for the etymolgy of this word--know (or assume) it's Greek. I'm looking for the meaning of the word. All I'm finding are things like "of, or relating to, the Olympics". Duh. I also know it's a place name as in Mt. Olympia in Greece, Olympia, WA, Olympic Peninsula, Olympic N...

Saturday
Warning...this one's a bad one... A prison inmate was assigned to learn carpentry and soon became the best carpenter in the prison. The warden heard about the inmate's work. So, when it was time to remodel his kitchen, he approached the inmate. But the inmate refused to fit a countertop for the ward...
