    - I don't know how long TWD's breaks are, but this is a six episode show. -- nm - David Nov 3, 16:25 1
      - It normally would run until the end of November and then break until February. -- (edited) - Spawn Nov 3, 16:30

lost 1928 Walt Disney cartoon found -- (link) - Peglegpete Nov 3, 14:43 3
- Hmm, that would have been done about 5 years after he moved out of the garage. -- nm - Meg Nov 3, 15:22
- *watches the first few racial slurs* *loses the film again* -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 14:48
- OSWALD! -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 14:47
So why isn't swirl spelled swirrel ? -- nm - Meg Nov 3, 14:40 7
- because english. -- nm - b. Nov 3, 14:53
- Different sources. Swirl is from German, squirrel is from Greek. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 14:45 1
  - I would have thought onomatopoeia -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 15:45
- Spelling generally evolves over time by chance and influences that can be pretty hard to discern. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 14:45
- exactly. It's the "el" on the end that makes it 2 -- nm - CQ Nov 3, 14:43 2
  - I still have nightmares over the parent-teacher conference where I was assured that 'been' rhymed with bin not bean. - Meg Nov 3, 15:13 1
    - bin = ben? (wait, nevermind, we've been through this, haven't we? *runs away screaming "noooooooooo"* :) -) -- nm - b. Nov 3, 15:14
LIR: Dawson, how the hell did you end up visiting Peoria? - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 14:39 1
- Booty call. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 14:39
When you hear "deluge," do you think a huge amount of water falling (downpour), or do you think a huge amount of water on the ground (flood)? -- nm - mara Nov 3, 14:36 14
- I agree with Pegleg. And Spawn. - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 14:41 7
  - A flood can cause a deluge or a deluge can cause a flood. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 15:48
  - worst case scenario is they are talking about stunningly beautiful aerodynamic styled 1930's French cars, and mean Delage. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 3, 14:46
  - See, but before a few minutes ago, I would have interpreted your first example as a downpour, not a flood. I think I must be the minority in that. :-) -- nm - mara Nov 3, 14:46 4
    - Downpour = a massive deluge of rain. You could argue that there can be deluges of things that are not water .. :-) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 14:52 3
      - that's what I was thinking of below - deluge of work, emails, etc. -- nm - b. Nov 3, 14:53 1
        
        yeah, and typically those might also be referred to as a flood, but I dunno. Deluge seems special. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 14:55
      - Around here, typically a downpour will clog storm trains and cause localized flooding, as happened here on halloween -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 3, 14:53
- Downpour. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 14:39
- Falling. -- nm - Meg Nov 3, 14:39
- Falling or rushing. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 14:39 1
  - That's a good point - sometimes rushing water can cause a deluge, like when you are trying to get water off a tarp -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 14:40
- it depends on the context it is used in -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 3, 14:38 1
  - yah, and I'd add a third - when a whole lot of something comes at once. -- nm - b. Nov 3, 14:42
That Time I Tried to Buy an Actual Barrel of Crude Oil -- (link) - spamlet Nov 3, 14:34 1
- Honey, you can't do *one* barrel if you want to make anything. - Spawn Nov 3, 14:38
