[michael c]

every time i tried to use the word "speculate" in the topic on lara parker's new book when i hit the post button it was changed to "nun".

it was changed in older posts too. what gives?

All we can say is: Beware The Night of the Nun and the Baboon!!*

As you saw, nothing happens to the word speculate.  The word specu lation, however, is another story.

So what's with specu lation?

speculation.  Just testing.

I wish to engage in speculation regarding nuns and baboons.

i didn't imagine it.

doesn't it seem strange that there are so many misuses of the same word in one topic?

On The Night of the Nun and the Baboon anything can happen. Even a playroom can appear in the place of a linen closet! But thankfully the danger has passed.

I used the words moon lamp and it cam out as baboon lamp.    and i knew i did not partake in any of the herbs and things that Magda needed when i wrote that because I was at work.......


now i know i'm not crazy. (relatively speaking, of course!)

I thought that the fact that it came up as "baboon lamp" was hysterically funny. But then I knew why it was coming up that way.

Relatively speaking is the only way it's true of any of us. And it's good to be reminded of that from time to time.

so tell us mysterious what was up!

i thought i was losing it. more alarmingly i thought a hacker was accessing our accounts.

glad it's over.

What would have been hilarious is if "n-u-n" came up as "s-p-e-c-u-l-a-t-i-o-n" as well.  If "m-o-o-n" was "b-a-b-o-o-n" and "b-a-b-o-on" was "m-o-o-n."  We all would have thought we had lost it, well most of us....

*And, yes, you can never be too careful, hence the hyphens.

The danger has definitely passed. Well, for now. Though who knows when it may happen next? After all, astronomers are no help in predicting the next Night of the Nun and the Baboon.
