Other Fabulous things

Some other fabulous things:
From Slacktivist:
Fred Clark: "...he knows full well that hate crimes has nothing to do with his fantasies about Gay Stormtroopers invading churches."
pharoute: "Somehow I think a lot of preachers secretly wish gay stormtroopers would rush in and do all sorts of fabulously terrible things to them."
From the english language:
floccinaucinihilipilification
"action or habit of estimating as worthless," 1741, a combination of four Latin words (flocci, nauci, nihili, pilifi) all signifying "at a small price" or "for nothing," which were listed together in a rule of the well-known Eton Latin Grammar. The kind of jocular formation that was possible among educated men in Britain in those days. Just so, as in praesenti, the opening words of mnemonic lines on conjugation in Lilley's 16c. Latin grammar, could stand alone as late as 19c. and be understood to mean "rudiments of Latin."
From CPI: Imogen Heap has a new album out. Apparently she's also performing in Montreal on the 27th.
From real life: Lydia was in an amazing mood this morning and so was I. I still am.
