errant pedantry

January 18, 2003

As part of the new campaign not to feel like I'm going to vomit/choke/die all the time, tea has replaced coffee in the mornings. Currently it's this black/green blend called "Om." The teabag sez:

The word Om is frequently seen on prayer wheels, stones and flags as you walk through the Himalayas. To merely say it, [sic] releases a vibration of peace. Imagine what happens when you drink it.

Also, if anyone was wondering about the identity of the Greatest Thing Ever, it turns out to be Shostakovich's Thirteenth. (Texts by Yevtushenko here.)

The Greater Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) has zygodactylic feet, leaving X-shaped tracks with ambiguous direction. The Pueblo and Hopi used the X symbol to mislead evil spirits. Border folklore in the early twentieth century held that a roadrunner would lead a lost traveler back to his path. In Mexico the roadrunner is known as paisano, countryman.
