THESAURUS - a Lexicon, Vocabulary, or Word List.

The idea started out with ide, and oid, then became more difficult, or demanding. If, by any stretch of the imagination, this post causes you to THINK - then SO BE IT!

Gray, or Grey, Matter like all other muscles and organs of the body, occasionally needs EXERCISE.

To wit, forsooth, I submit, this extraneous, or superfluous EXERCISE. May it provide an Exorcism of the GRAY GHOSTS in your Cerebellum, as opposed to a Cerebral Hemorrhage!

A clever write indeed, enjoyed this much. I had a professor in college that would have really enjoyed this. I took a class under him called The History of the English Language...we had great exercises such as this daily, challenged our brains, he also presented us with challenges to try and challenge him...being from Kentucky and having a slang all our own, we gave him fits! He loved it though! Enjoyed this!
Blessings,
