Which household implement was "invented" by Edward Lear?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Tue Dec 05, 2006 1:41 pm

has anyone manufactured a runcible spoon?

They have, but only since Edward Lear invented the word. It doesnt actually mean anything and isn't in the dictionary.

ops:

how did they know what to make?

anyhoo, if i may take the runcible plate:

a pangram is a phrase using every letter of the 26 at least once.
the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog has 35 letters.

how many letters are in the shortest such sentence which makes sense?

if we were in poland you'd be right:

ójdźże, kiń tę chmurność w głąb

but there is no satisfactory perfect pangram in English.

( i think most people would agree that cwm fjord veg balks nth pyx quiz )is nonsense

Bawds jog, flick quartz, vex nymphs

John, his wife and their daughter wish to cross a river. The row boat can only hold 100 kilos. John weighs 80 kilos. His wife and daughter weigh 40 kilos each.
How do all three cross the river?
