1. Ok, but expect planes full of bombfilled babies now that the
terra-ists know that we'll let those little kids on after all...!

Gives a whole new meaning to "that kid is a real terror."

2. She's dangerous!
She could take out an entire crew with her WMD cuteness and do all kinds of mischief!

3. Useless trivia about the word "maroon."
It is often considered a racial slur. It was a name for runaway slaves. Makes you wonder if Buggs Bunny was a racist. :)

4. Interesting, but OED also has it as
lost in the woods, confused or primative camping

which is the way I think Bugs used it.

6. Looked up the Montreal Maroons and they got their name from the
color of their uniforms.

Yep, I am bored. I need to be sleeping but can not fall asleep. Going to be a long night.
