Magic Words

Posted by Anonymous On 12:00 AM

Although this is something that I started doing informally a while back, I'm now going to make a full-out game of it: What's up with those 'Word Verifications?' What's up with those mysterious and magic words that let you post a comment? They aren't words! They're just a jumble of letters... or are they?



I think it's high time we started taking the Blogger folks at their word when they say that the letter jumbles are words. In fact, from now on we're going to do periodic Magic Word posts. Just go to the comment section, (or Cachinnation section here), take a look at your Magic Word, type it in and then offer a definition.

For example from above: Uvama - Bin Laden's vampire cousin.

This isn't Balderdash, you're not trying to fool us, just have a good time. I will award a prize to the best Magic Word each time we play. Let the games begin!
