Did you know that the word ALGORITHM comes from al-Khowarizmi, an Arab mathematician (c800 - c850)? (No you didn't, Jon) Or that VETO is the same in 23 languages (Albanian, Azerbaijani, Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, French, German, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, SerboCroatian, Slovak, Slovene, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish)? Or that according to James Joyce, CUSPIDOR is the most beautiful word in English? No? Then go here and be as clever as me.
