Hare Krishna, headhunt, high tech, ho-hum, laid back, megastar, microchip, point guard, power forward, quadraphonic. . . We didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world's been turning. . .

What I didn't mention was that the first thing I saw when I typed in my birth year was "Damn, you're old!" -M

Here's an interesting website: www.merriam-webster.com/words-by-first-known-date"When was a word first used in print? You may be surprised! Enter a date below to see the words first recorded in that year." The year I was born saw the first recorded uses of "all-terrain vehicle", "barf", "byte", "decaf", "felt-tip", "fiber optics", "green card", "liftoff", "megabit", "nitpick", "psychedelic", "quantum leap", "rockabilly", "snooze button", "Turing test", "white flight", and many other words & phrases. That IS interesting. Just for a lark, I plugged in the year of Prince Hal 's birth and found it featured the first recorded use of "a," "the," "it," and (oddly) "obstreperous." That was quite a year! Yer fergettin' "ugh," "rawr" and "fuggedaboudit," sonny. Only 'bout 10 letters in the alphybet in them there days, by cracky! Had to ride muh dinosaur tah school uphill home and back and had nothin' but lint 'n' gravel stew for dinner... but we was damn glad to get it!

I cannot believe the term "butterfly effect" first saw usage in 1979.

I came off my bike today and thought I'd fractured a rib but they can't see any evidence of fracturing on the x-ray but either way it hurts a whole lot.

Good thing for you, because I don't think you can do anything about a fractured rib except walk around with it that way. I only remember coming off my bike twice, the first time I was side swiped by a car and the second I didn't negotiate a train track to well. The first time I had no helmet, but no injuries in both falls.
