Somnambulance (n.): Vehicle used to transport injured sleepwalkers.

a.k.a. The Wealthy European and North American Caucasians Games.

When putting fuel into my car I have to stop the display at an exact multiple of 5 or 10 number such as 25.00 or 30.00. If I misjudge by even 0.01 I must go to the next acceptable number.

I know exactly how you feel. Every time I want to change the channel I'm faced with a basket containing remote controls for the TV, DVD player, surround sound, projector, VCR (gathering dust) and satellite receiver. We also have a universal remote control but nobody uses it because it can't access t...

The closest technical description is "demulsify" but I believe "split" is mainly usually used when referring to food.

Another obsession of mine: The tags on my mp3s must be correct and complete.

I've noticed that the phrase "the elite" is also being used by US politicians as a collective term for those enlightened citizens who dare to question their masters. It looks like they are attempting to turn it into a derogatory term in the same way they use "liberal".

I misread #10 in the first list. I thought it was o s t e o p o r o s i s and the spaces were the joke, representing the porosity (spaces) in the osteo (bones). I also suspect that they may not have originated from the Washington Post (would they publish a Top 17 and a Top 16?) especially as #15 in ...

I think I've figured out the Transportation Safety Administration plan: In the final stages of the flight 1. Attendants remove blankets. 2. Ban opening overhead bins. 3. Tell passengers to stay in their seats with their hands in plain sight. 4. Travel back in time and catch Umar Farouk Abdulmullatab...

According to the manufacturers GlaxoSmithKline http://www.gsk.com/products/consumer-healthcare/eno.htm Eno is an antacid drug. I am not convinced that adding it to food is a good idea.

I'm not surprised at how stupid people in the air travel industry can be. I was out of the country when the restrictions on liquids was brought in as a response to a terrorism attempt. As we were passing through airport security I was told that I could not bring two paracetamol tablets onto the plan...

I have just used the dictionary box for the first time. I copied and pasted the phrase "C'est la vie" from ejm's post , selected the Non-English option and clicked "Search". I was very impressed by the speed of the results and amused that the phrase has both a French and a German...
