Good Morning Everyone!!
Quote of the day:
“I give you some advice that is now more than 2,000 years old: Love work, hate domination, and don’t get too close to the ruling class.” – Ben Bradlee – Executive Editor – Washington Post
Joke of the Day:
Q: What did the hurricane say to the island?
A: – I’ve got my eye on you.
Thought of the day: Think big!
“A lot of people told me I was never going to be anybody. But here I am.” – Rodney A. Grant
Rodney A. Grant is a Native American actor. He played Wind in His Hair in the move Dances with Wolves. For a long time, it looked as if people were right – he never would be anybody. He was born into a troubled family. He had problems with alcohol and the law. He dropped out of high school. Today he’s a move and TV star.
Today….think of all the things you know you can do and be.
Question of the day:
Lewis Carroll figured out how to change the word nose to the word chin in six moves by changing only one letter at a time. Each time you change a letter, you get an English word. Here we give you the words for Moves 2 and 3. You have to figure out the words for Moves 1, 4, and 5.
| N O S E | ||
| Move 1 | _ _ _ _ | |
| Move 2 | C O T E | |
| Move 3 | C O R E | |
| Move 4 | _ _ _ _ | |
| Move 5 | _ _ _ _ | |
| Move 6 | C H I N |
Yesterday’s answer:
Mom, Dad, and Sis are palindromes — words that read the same both forward and backward. Bro is not a palindrome. If you read it backwards, it’s “orb.”
Extra challenge answer: Mr. Smith could be named Bob; Mrs. Smith could be named Eve or Nan. All those names are palindromes.
Word of the day:
Epiphany (noun)
An appearance or a becoming manifest. Also frequently used as a sudden idea or brainwave.
It was in the course of performing the mundane requirements of his job at the patent office that Albert had an epiphany; perhaps, he thought to himself, that time is not a constant.
