The Biggest Paradox of All: Language is a Lie. Top Story - March 2021.
Only one with hypermnesia could cranially farctate the brontide of linguistic nuances that the English language possesses. A philodox who adores the sound of his own vocal ruminations, a virago with vulpine command of tongue, or a rapscallion sciolist might cavil the uselessness of elaborate verbatim; but seldom the banal factotum. It is with a frisson of ardour that I indite of the gorgonising peregrination of heady literary escapes, a feeling akin to gargalesthesia, tucked up in beldam arms, as I first discovered the joy of words. An ambuscade of aliment for my natural brain, each letter instilling an appentency within me for any orts or scruples of learning; but to collogue like a clerk was never my destiny. Betimes I excogigated a fantasy land, fuzzled on fudge; my bookcase a chicane of intelligence, a fane to fandangle tomes. Forsooth, the bootless act of reading is as ineffectual as a dextrosinistral with no one to dispraise. First a dandiprat, I grew into a beef-witted morosoph, my crumpet tied to the archaic isms of my childhood; but soon I discovered the pleasure of lalochezia; my sensibilities and my words torn asunder, suddenly athwart each other. Erewhile I grew up with the classics, erelong the four-letter malisons enthrall me now.

4 Interesting Tour Facts About Costa Rica
So, what brought this American Black female to Costa Rica? Costa Rica was always part of my bucket list since high school. And that was, um, quite a while ago. Originally I tried to get to Costa Rica via Nicaragua as part of a high school service project. I simply did not have the money. And my family was literally considered at the poverty line or probably below it.

What To Do (And NOT To Do) If A Bomb Goes Off
While many parts of the world, throughout different eras of history, have had to worry about terrorist attacks to some degree or another (it is said that this was one of the reasons for the Crusades), it is within the last 25 years or so that the problem has reached proportions where it seems that an attack could come at any moment at any place regardless of where on Earth they may find themselves.

The World Was Duped
Plastic, originally named bakelite by it's inventor Baekeland, was created in 1909 if you can believe it. But our love for plastic didn't explode onto the scene until the middle of the century, when women began working outside of the home, and the consumer industry had a lightbulb moment that they packaged and sold as "convenience".

Uncommon knowledge
Uncommon knowledge Well recently I was looking up fire spiders why well it was for a fictional character I was creating entitled Rage. I'm tired of how marvel is writing Spider-Man and not sticking to the cartoon I use to rush home from elementary to watch. I mean Super Man gets all these reboots but Spider-Man only get a couple of movies that doesn't even depict the actual version of the cartoon. Anyway so I decided to create my own Spider-Man. Even though it won't be nearly exciting because I'm writing it myself I have the opportunity to create yet another Black hero for my culture. So on this journey I was researching Fire Spiders and it led me to a whole discovery in which I didn't plan on discovering. First off fire Spiders are real and they can be found in the firelands and rare locations in Pandaria. Wow the thing is I never heard of this place in my life. Then they compared these spiders to the ones found on Azeroth and I never heard of this place before either. So I start digging more into Azeroth. Though some writers use Azeroth as a fictional plant it's actually is a real owned by Portugal. Azores consist of 9 islands Terceira is the third largest of the nine. Sao Miguel is the biggest of all Azores islands and I was told is a great vacation getaway. Pico island nothing much to say about this one as well as Faial island and Sao Jorge. The Madeira Island is visited by around a million people a year and is one of Europe's leading island destinations. Formiga is politically organized as an autonomous region. Capelinhos is admire by it fascinating landscape of Capelinhos volcano. Corvo Island known as The Black Island is the smallest and northernmost. Santa Maria known as The Yellow Island which is named after it's abundance of bright flowers. Graciosa stems from the Portuguese word gracioso which means graceful. The last one is The Flores Island which is the fourth smallest of the nine and is celebrated for it's beautiful, natural landscape, including seven lakes in it's central area which provides a full range of watersports activities. Man to just think I came upon this discovery looking up a spider. Though all these islands are volcanic landmarks there all so beautiful and would be places I wouldn't mind traveling to. It's amazing how this knowledge intrigued me I mean I love traveling but only know a hand full of places I would consider traveling to. I'm only really familiar with one island which is Hawaii but I know of others just know very little about them though. This new discovery have embark me on a quest to learn more about places I'm not aware of. I mean we get so caught in our own bubble we forget that there is a whole big world out there with new discoveries and custom's that you might found interesting. So explore and don't get trap with what your accustomed to. That's my Uncommon knowledge and if you didn't know just as me you now do.
