Got problems?

The answer is cheeses.

I have been much too amused by get fuzzy lately. It does not merit this. My apologies.

Interestingly, it should be noted that Socrates' Apology wasn't an apology in our sense of the word, it was an Apologia, or a legal defense. So instead of calling it "The Apology" we should really call it "The Defense", but we don't because of the cognate thing. Even though it's wrong.

Eheh. I just read the Apology myself. Interesting how half the class didn't understand that even after having it explained.

Really? All of my class got it over the summer, even the guy who kept asking why the Illiad wasn't more like the movie Troy *shudders*

That guy also *giggles* misunderstood the professor's comment that the Brooklyn Bridge was a toll bridge, and then got upset when we all giggled after he asked "why, how tall is it now?"

Seeing cheese mentioned in my friends page always makes me smile.

That usage of the word "apology", btw, is still accepted usage in English, although it isn't very common. I majored in philosophy, and it's still commonly used that way in that field and related fields, such as theology, where you might see an essay entitled "An Apology for Baptism" or something like that.
