two sightings

You're kidding!!!!!

"morepork" was a Fictionary word??? When???

Is anyone but me familiar with Terry Pratchett and his DiscWorld novels?

See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankh-Morpork> for an heraldic
picture of a morpork (alternate spelling) and an explanation of just
what the divil I'm babbling about.

BB,
Hutch
