2007.07.13 Speed-o-meter
The other day I was speaking with somebody and they pronounced "speedometer" like "SPEED-oh-mee-ter" as opposed to "sped-AWE-meh-ter". I thought to myself and commented afterwards, "If that's what that's called, wouldn't it be measuring speedos instead of… speed?" For the record, I'd like to provide you a list of things that I'd personally like to nothave to deal with on a daily basis, let alone measure (in no particular order):
- Speedos
- Zombies
- Eraser burns
- Fecal samples
- Water Chestnuts
I think things pretty much speak for themselves in that list. :)
