Re: mu' qID subgenres

you all should watch the movie "PI".  It's about a guy looking for a 
peticular multididget number that a group of jews believe to represent the 
name of God.  He goes to an elderly mathmatician friend of his to seek 
information and the man gives him this:  "If you look hard enough for 
something you will always find it.  If you're looking for the number 13, look 
enough and you''ll start to see it all around you.  13 steps from your car to 
your front door, 13 blades of grass in a square inch.  It will show up every 
where you look."  The point is, if you look hard enough for these puns, you 
will find a way to make almost every word fit.  The only way you will ever 
know if these words are actually puns, is to ask M.O. himself.  Otherwise, 
all these "puns" are just clever ways to remember the vocabulary.  The 
teachers of foreign language classes have been suggesting that technique for 
centuries, I'm sure.  I did it in spanish class alot.  I really don't think 
any of those words were meant to be puns either.
