Purple Art

Since I know a number of you on my f-list are into the color purple I thought I would pass along this information. This is a graet way to get some really affordable, but beautiful artwork.

There is an artist community called Nibblefest that has a monthly competition, where each artist submits a piece of art on Ebay starting $0.99 with no reserve. The competition is to have the most unique bidders. This month's theme is working in purple monocrome. To look for these items, search for "NFAC" in the title (or click here).

Etymology of turkey

If you haven't already read it, Straight Dope has a somewhat old article on the etymology of the word for turkey. Neat stuff! Roger and I read through it together the other day, and I thought I would pass it along.
