Word of the Day:  Schmetterling.  The German word for butterfly.

SCHMETTERLIIIIIIING

Good writing of the day:

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

This is one of the "Riddles in the Dark" from J.R.R. Tolkein's The Hobbit. The answer to this riddle is, of course, Darkness.

Flub of the Day:

Nope, there is nothing at all suspicious about a headless body found in a mental hospital.
