Did you know that if you have a set of World Book Encyclopedia’s, there’s still an amusing use for them? You can rearrange them on the shelf to spell something other than World Book!
Fun with World Book
Our bookshelf is not long enough to hold the whole set, so I was free to omit an O. Don’t cha just love anagrams!
Tonight I took the boys to a Pathfinder Staff meeting so we could work out plans for Oshkosh. We got outta there at 9:00 and were pretty hungry by then. So we stopped at Taco Bell. On the way out I saw this huge bug on the sidewalk:
Huge Bug
As you can see from the dime I put there for reference, this dude was about 3.5 inches long. It may be the largest insect I have ever seen. As soon as I finish posting this here, I’m going to post it on BugGuide.net and wait for someone to ID it for me.
Update: BugGuide came through as always. This is a male dobsonfly (Corydalus cornutus).

David thought Dorkbowl was pretty funny too. The guys at work think I have a pretty good chance of taking the Dorkbowl this year.

Everybody knows that no aqua 2002 World Book encyclopedia set whose cover design features various landmark would be complete without the bonus census volume that completes the set!
