No big long-winded ramble this week, just a quick explanation. In this week's episode, I'll be showing you some of the most interesting, amusing or just outright strange words that start with the first five letters of the alphabet.

Words of the Week:

alectryomancy- A form of divination whereby a bird, usually a black hen or a white gamecock, is allowed to pick grains of corn from a circle of letters, thus forming words.

bodhisattva- An enlightened being who delays entry into nirvana to help others to attain enlightenment. (from Buddhism)

cataplexy- A state of complete motionlessness, faking death.

dishabille- The state of being carelessly or partially dressed.

ectoplasm- An immaterial or ethereal substance associated with spirit manifestations, the substance which ghosts or spirits are made of.

Quote of the Week: "I wonder if illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?"- Jerry Seinfeld

Man of the Week: Fusajiro Yamauchi- founder of Nintendo. Without him, we would never have had the NES, SNES, N64, GameCube and Wii, and the video game industry wouldn't be what it is today, so let's all take a moment to appreciate the man behind the phenomenon.

Thanks to- Macquarie Dictionary; Dictionary.com; Wikipedia; and saidwhat.co.uk for providing some of the information used.

Well, that's all for this week, next week will be letters F-I, so if you have any suggestions, I would really appreciate it, especially considering how long this week's episode took me.

I'll be back at school tomorrow after the weekend, so expect to see less of me, and i will probably reach Level 20 tomorrow, since I'm level 19 right now with 99.88%.

See you guys later, and keep grinnin'. :D

EDIT: I have officially reached level 20!! now I just have to wait a couple more months to level up again!
