Yeah, I know, Crazy Tom is back. Got the thought while driving today, and had to capture it.

Remember Clyde Beatty? "BRING 'EM BACK ALIVE"...

To me, words are like little "critters" that sometimes roam, and need to occasionally be corraled.

The greater majority of them are Good, or Noble; a minute few are Bad, or Ignoble.

Words are the 'tools' of our trade, are they not? Sometimes we need to refresh our memories as to their proper use. More often than not, a pneumonic can help us to remember.

Repetition, or ROTE learning may also help in this task, or endeavor.

Hope you have... F-U-N ...

FROM: http://www.bruggerink.com/~zow/zow.html

So just what is a "Zow"? The "Zow" is a fictional Greek letter. It is represented as an S with no curves, the mirror image of a Z, or as a Sigma without the base. It is pronounced "Zow", hence the Romanization (as any standard types fail to include it, this is how it is most often seen).

And the big question, what does it mean? It stands for the incomplete or partial sum. Hence, the sigma that's missing a piece. It represents humanity, as one of the most amazing things about humans is their ability to use only a part of the information and still function fully, hence the basis for heuristics. Further, it represents the sum of one's life experiences with the consideration that there is more to come.



HOW NOW BROWN COW ART THOU?
