"Blog on this entry at MSN spaces," it suggested to me. Well, no thanks, but it did give me the idea to blog on it here.

I knew that "spicket" was a word for a faucet, I thought probably of English origin, but when I used it Open Office was giving me that annoying little squiggly red line under the word. A search through my Oxford American Dictionary turned up nothing, and neither did dictionary.com. Finally a google search lead me to Encarta, which in turn lead to me spigot, from which spicket apparently is a derivative! Who knew? I certainly didn't.

It never ceases to honk my hooter that I can do all this in the space of two minutes at my desk in my bedroom. Why do I not have to go to a library for this sort of shit? I feel guilty and spoiled.
