I could go on like that all day. What is it called when you have three or more names or words in a list, and the first ones all are alike in some way but the last one is different? Like, the newest Sandra Boynton book, 15 animals, has a boy naming every animal in his house. They're all Bob except, naturally, the last one. There has to be a name for this!

There is a wiki for EVERYTHING. Go ahead, I dare you, look for something weird. It will be there. It's like a whole new version of Rule 34.
