Hi, people of IMWAN!  Today's word is Snorklebowser!  Webster's dictionary defines the word Snorklebowser as follows: Snorklebowser. Pronounced Snorklebowser. Invented by Francine in 2008. Snorklebowser, who's first name is Snorky, is a flying matted hedgehog. Native to the Planet of Mimicka. Once an endangered speices, the flying matted hedgehog now flourishes among the flying squirrels and miniature oak trees in the lush, green forests of Mimicka.I hope I've shared some interesting knowledge with you all. Take care till next time.

You never bothered to look up "cereal" to get my "demetreal" joke, did you?

What's the origin of the word "cereal"?

What's the origin of the word "cereal"? Ok. According to what I found, It's from Latin cerealis 'of grain,' originally 'of Ceres,' from Ceres, Roman goddess of agriculture.

And...? Did you then research either to learn why I would've said "cereal or demetreal"?

Thus we see an inherent problem with home schooling... clearly someone was never taught how to research something until she finds the answer on her own...Hurry back!

Okay, let's try this from another angle. I used "demetreal" as another name for "cereal". "Cereal" is derived from the name "Ceres", the Roman goddess of agriculture. Take it from there.

I want to see how long it takes for her to get there on her own.
And the sad thing is, the payoff isn't all that great -- it was a throw-away joke and not a very funny one at that.
