Actually there's some really interesting reading concerning this here. (http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_word_in_the_English_language)
I only know this because it was a discussion that was had elsewhere not too long ago, and I had to "prove" that antidisestablishmentarianism was actually a word. :)

Am I going nuts or was this on a TV show...they had some sort of contest?
Brady Bunch maybe?

Thesaurus girl I've ever seen!
What other countries besides the US have not yet accepted the Metric System as a form of measurement?
Does the Earth travel in a circular orbit around the Sun, or elliptical?
You can answer them both at once, or seperately. :D
C.
elliptical
Liberia and Myanmar
Wrong, and Right!
The Earth travels in a nearly perfect circular around the sun. The most interesting part of the article I was pulling this from was that despite many doomsayers, the planet could sustain a massive change in orbit (such as huge asteroids hitting us or other planets, throwing us into an elipse) and still be habitable. Bring it on!

That little difference in deviation from a circle leaves the Earth 3 million kilometers closer to the Sun at it's closest.
