>Besides, as anyone knows, the definition of 'viscous' is, " 1. The act of >biting toes through socks. 2. Any act of play resulting in a ferret bite >to the webbing between the thumb and first finger of a human. 3. A ferret >bite to the nose or lip." Actually, Bob, I looked it up in Webster's, and found the following: vis-cous \'vis-kes\ adj [ME viscouse, fr. LL viscosus - full of birdlime; viscous, fr. L viscum - mistletoe, birdlime; akin to OHG wihsila - cherry, Gk ixos - mistletoe] (14c) 1: VISCID 2: having or characterized by viscosity <~flow> - viscously adv - viscousness n --i.e. how sticky is it. 'Course, the "much documented fact" that domestic ferrets are "viscious" is "viscosus" anyway..... (Sorry, Bob & BIG, I know it was just a typo, & I may regret posting this when I wake up 'n my eyes aren't crossing anymore, but it was 1:45 am when I read that & I just couldn't resist...) Blessings, Carla (who really shouldn't stay up just to read the FML when it first comes out...) [Posted in FML issue 1607]
