| 57947 | 2002-06-28 06:11:00 | This is just the word you need for Monday morning's Team-Talk. When the Boss has finished thoroughly confusing everybody, walk up to him (or her) and say "Great team talk Boss, really liked your quaquaversal approach to our priorities for the week! We're all gonna follow your example". Quaquaversal....Going in all directions at once! Cheers Billy 8-{) :D :D |

| 57949 | 2002-06-28 07:28:00 | Nice one Bill, that could apply too but it doesn't figure in the Oxford dictionary version which is what I rely on for accuracy. Of course the applications are all mine, that's where the fun starts. Cheers Billy 8-{) :D |

| 57950 | 2002-06-28 07:42:00 | Interesting links relating to Quaquaversal as found on Google (http://www.google.co.nz) Quaquaversal Tiling (www.ma.utexas.edu) Quaquaversal the band (www.austinchronicle.com) Quaquaversal Paintings (www.chaosmos.org) Once there, click the link for template #4. More Interesting Words including Quaquaversal (www.wordsmith.org) And my favoiurite a Quaquaversal limerick: The sins of the Church Universal, So varied and quite quaquaversal Need patience supernal And time sepiternal For full effective rehearsal. found here. (bruichladdich.dcs.st-and.ac.uk LimericksDir/U.html) Some are a bit dodgy, so I inserted a space in the url as a minor censoring device. Remove the %20 from the resulting url to see the page. I also couldn't resist including this one: There was a young caveman named Ug, Who stuck his plug in a jug. Said Ug with a shrug, As he gave it a tug, "Now ain't this a hell of a fug." G P |

| 57952 | 2002-06-28 11:11:00 | Graham, I don't know about that, either ! Sept... from the Latin, seven. Perhaps from the seventh heaven.... ;\ Bill. |

| 57953 | 2002-06-29 05:16:00 | I got that definition from the author. I think he/she meant sempiternal[b/b]. [b]sempiternal \sem-pih-TUR-nul\, adjective: Of never ending duration; everlasting; endless; having beginning, but no end Sempiternal comes from Medieval Latin sempiternalis, from Latin sempiternus, a contraction of semperaeternus, from semper, always + aeternus, eternal.
