  • chained_bear Or pleurisy. I agree it sounds like a lung disease. Frankly I'd rather have it mean a lung disease than an eight-foot millipede. Eugh!

    Hmm. I guess it is. Except that "pleura" part always reminds me of pneumonia. Aug 29, 2008

  • chained_bear Well, I thought the word was kind of pretty until I found out what it meant. *shivers* Aug 29, 2008

  • reesetee How can it be worse? This thing was an eight-foot millipede!
