[Fictionary] omasum and friends

[Ranjit Bhatnagar]

I just learned that cows contain an entire game of fictionary within
themselves. From wikipedia:

Stomach 1: The *rumen*, also known as a *paunch*, forms the larger part of
the *reticulorumen* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticulorumen>, which is
the first chamber in the alimentary canal
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alimentary_canal> of ruminant
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruminant> animals.

Stomach 2: The reticulum is colloquially referred to as the *honeycomb*. It
is also known as the *bonnet* and as the kings-hood.

Stomach 3: The omasum, also known as the *bible*, the *fardel*, the
*manyplies* and the *psalterium*, is the third compartment of the stomach
in ruminants."

Stomach 4: The abomasum, also known as the *maw*, *rennet-bag*, or *reed
tripe*, is the fourth and final stomach compartment in ruminants.
