Kristin - you are very imaginative!

Have you seen the email going around about the Mensa competition to pick a word out of the dictionary, alter it by either adding, subtracting or changing one letter and supplying a new definition? EG BOZONE - the substance surrounding stupid people that stops less than bright ideas from penetrating. The BOZONE layer unfortunately shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

I reckon you would be good at that too!
