Don't make me blog this!

Oh, glorious day to you and yours! I am going to catch you up on the answers to past quizes right here, right now.
    Regarding EHISSTW: WETTISH and WHITEST are the only common English words 90% of Mensans could find.
As you know, that is the only challenge I had for you that required any answer of any sort.

And now for your delight...
...As defined by Humpty Dumpty in "Through The Looking Glass"
  • Brillig means four o'clock in the afternoon -- the time when you begin broiling things for dinner.
  • Slithy means "lithe and slimy."
  • Toves are something like badgers -- they're something like lizards -- and they're something like corkscrews. They are very curious looking creatures which make their nests under sun-dials -- also they live on cheese.
  • To gyre is to go round and round like a gyroscope -- Gyre is an actual word, circa 1566 a circular or spiral motion or form; especially a giant circular oceanic surface current.
  • To gimble is to make holes like a gimlet.
  • The wabe is the grass-plot round a sun-dial. It's called "wabe" -- because it goes a long way before it, and a long way behind it -- and a long way beyond it on each side.
  • Mimsy is "flimsy and miserable".
  • Borogove is a thin shabby-looking bird with its feathers sticking out all round--something like a live mop.
  • Rath is a sort of green pig.
  • Mome is (possibly) short for "from home" -- meaning that the raths had lost their way.
  • Outgribing is something between bellowing and whistling, with a kind of sneeze in the middle.
I am most certain you can slip one of these ingenious words into your reply today!

Fact: From 1958 to 1961, Egypt and Syria were one country called the United Arab Republic.
Fact: We get the abbreviation 'lb.' from the Latin word for pound: "libra."
Fact: Abel Tasman discovered Tasmania, New Zealand and Fiji, but never noticed Australia.

The blind patrons at this restaurant were dining, unbeknownst to them, on roasted rath and stuffed borogoves.

Happy Autumn.
MENSA: How many common English words can you make from the letters EHISTTW? All letters must be used each time.
So I am feeling totally slow and lethargic this morning, trying my best to come up with something. Anything really. I don't care...

Oh!!! That's right!



Cambridge, MA
I totally knew that! I did, we swears it. But last night we could not remember where the hell Harvard was! DUH! I feel so dumb now.

OK, let's dive into history. This is a section from a book called 'Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Plunges Into History' called Proven Wrong By History: Part III
    BACTERIOLOGY - "Louis Pasteur's theory of germs is ridiculous fiction." ~ Pierre Pachet, Professor of Physiology at France's Toulouse University, 1872
    SURGERY - "The abdomen, the chest, and the brain will forever be shut from the intrusion of the wise and humane surgeon." ~ Sir John Ericksen, British surgeon, appointed Surgeon-Extraordinary to Queen Victoria, 1873
    EVERYTHING ELSE - "Everything that can be invented has been invented." ~ Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, U.S. Office of Patents, 1899
One last fact: The first New York to California flight, in 1911, took 49 days.

1) The only word I can think to come up with, using all letters from the combination provided, is wet shit.

2) How can it take 49 days to fly across the country at that time.....where the planes as slow as the cars back then? Geez those people should have taken Greyhound.

Polar bear liver is so high in iron that it can have a toxic effect on human metabolism.

Can't fight the blog!

I shall begin with the answer to Friday's (the 17th) MENSA question, since only one of you actually answered, cough, cough (losers) cough.

    The most clever (and longest) way to spell SIGH (following the same method as was used for FISH) is SCHEYE: SC as in schism and EYE as in eye. 95% of MENSA members who participated gave this same answer.
    100% of the people who answered here gave PSAYE: PS as in psychic and AYE as in yes. Thank you, you know who you are. Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance!

These are actual foreign signs that were translated into English:
    Bucharest hotel lobby: The lift is being fixed for the next day. During that time we regret that you will be unbearable.
    Athens hotel: Visitors are expected to complain at the office between the hours of 9 and 11 A.M. daily.
    Japanese hotel: You are invited to take advantage of the chambermaid.
    Austrian hotel catering to skiers: Not to perambulate the corridors in the hours of repose in the boots of ascension.
    Swiss restaurant menu: Our wines leave you nothing to hope for.
