I wonder if Chimp has any idea what a "litmus test" actually is... |
|
Not that everyone else really does either, but it just seems to me if one uses the term frequently he ought to have some idea of what it means, literally. What say you all?...am I picking a miniscule nit here? ;-)

17. Eh. Litmus lichens--at least some species--do grow on trees. |
|
Litmus is from lichens.
And they don't just grow on the north side of the trees.

at DU alwasys comes up with something like this. A few days ago I was taught the difference between ablation and sublimation of ice.

20. I know it was a joke. |

I just thought it funny that the joke came so close to the truth. :-)

2. It is not monosyllabic ... |
|
... therefore, I vote NO. I am convinced his speeches are written out phonetically, with little emoticons thrown in (the exception to this is his trademark hehe).

4. I dunno -- he might . . . |
|
They taught that stuff in 5th grade when he was that age, and there's a chance he hadn't started drinking yet.

13. His understanding of the term is probably ONLY literal. |
|
He's had to pee for enough probation officers, after all. What he wants us to know is that he did not pee on Harriet Miers or John Roberts to see if they would turn blue. :)
