I like this meta stuff. Excerpts from:  What's a Big Vocabulary Word for Someone with a Big Vocabulary? "Sesquipedalian means 'of a foot and a half', it was originally used of words, meaning 'a foot and a half long', but if applied to a human being it would mean 'lacking half a foot' (and yes, I do know someone to whom it applies). – TimLymington Jul 19 '11 at 9:51" "Vocabularian has the advantage of being quite adequately hoity-toity while also reasonably clear." "You could go with "logophile", a lover of words." And the accepted answer: A lexicomane?  Literally: someone who’s mad about dictionaries… "This seems to be too new and/or marginal a coinage to appear in the major dictionaries yet; but it’s made from standard parts, and made well, so should be easily comprehensible (certainly by any big-vocabulary-person), and seems to be gaining quite a bit of currency (googling it reveals plenty of use)...

What is the Minimum Human Population Necessary for a Sustainable Colony? There seems to be some contention as to the exact number, but it's certainly not 2. I'm looking at you, organized religion. However, Galactica had enough. ;-)

I found the following article interesting. You can't live without killing. Life consumes life to sustain itself, whether that life is plant or animal. IMO, it's less about what you eat than how it is grown and harvested. Are Plants Aware? See these references for the main reasons why people go vegan: Top 10 Reasons to Go Vegan Why Go Vegan? Why I Became Vegan and Why You Should, Too Why Go Vegan? Don't take this too seriously, but from a certain perspective, maybe these photos depict the same offense. We have PETA, maybe we need PETP.
