Long Words

The words "uncopyrightable", "dermatoglyphics", "misconjugatedly", and "hydropneumatics", are the longest words in the English language that do not repeat a letter.

Only uncopyrightable and dermatoglyphics are acceptable words in "Words with Friends" or Scrabble™ games. Good luck trying to ever generate that word during a game!

Lots of exciting things happened on September 15, read all the events that happened today on Wikipedia. There's no real major event that happened today, such as the landing of the moon.

Mysteries of Wikipedia

There are a couple of strange stories worth reading about on Wikipedia. Can you solve the mysteries?

Bloop
The Bloops is a name given to the strange sound picked up by U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 1997, while listening to sounds near the south Pacific Ocean. The origins of the sound appears not to be man-made.

Wow Signal
On August 15, 1977 a strange sound was heard on the Big Ear radio telescope which was setup to listen to sounds in space. This sound hasn't been heard again. What was this sound? Why hasn't it appeared again?

You should also check out these Websites that talk about other weird and strange sounds:

Badluck Schleprock

If your looking for the negative character on the Flintstones call "slep rock" his real name is Badluck Schleprock. You can find some information on Wikipedia. I haven't found anything that actually shows what episodes that he appeared in.

I am blogging this because I had a hard time finding the character base on my search for "slep rock" and the name wasn't listed among the characters on the main Flintstone page on Wikipedia. My search found other people had the same problem spelling Schleprock's name.

Hope this posting helps someone else out! Poor Schleprock, stuck with a name that many people can't spell correctly.

90 Days of Summer

Ninty Days of summer has official started! 90 days from today is the last day of August.  Summer un-officially ends on September 7, Labor Day, which means that there are 97 days of summer left!

Early reports show that Cape Cod is going to have a great summer, lots of international visitors to the Cape. The Memorial Day weekend traffic was moderate, with reports that there was a ten mile backup on Route six.

Hope you have a great Summer!
