I've heard of most of them.  I have number 7, but they're different from left and right.

I didn't know the majority of them.

16. Wamble

Stomach rumble.

I have a friend who's last name is Wamble (same spelling).  I'll have to tell him he's just a rumbly in the tumbly.  :lmao:

Is Morton's Toe terminal?

If so, how much longer do I have before I, *sob*, check out?

BTW, any idiot who designs a collection of buildings knows you don't run asphalt or concrete UNTIL the Desire Paths are established.

Another BTW, ferrules aren't restricted to the metal thingie on pencils that hold the rubber eraser to it. Ferrules are also found on brass instruments to join the parts together. They're silver-soldered in place with the ferrule acting as the bit that connects the two parts. Of course, that's extremely interesting to me and boring as hell for you, but hey, since you asked....... :whistling:
