Odds and sods I look at regularly, just because they amuse me. I hope they do the same for you.

Ross points out that this, “besides being fun to say, is spelled with only three letters. It means “Barbara, daughter of Ari, brought only rhubarb to Ari the Arab.”

Weird Universe » A Final Note from Chuck
RETROSPECTIVE
