I was thinking on the lines of coccus and baccillus but they are sorts.
So it would be phyla (thanks to Wikipedia)
Btw here's a question for you... do you know what a Bible bump is?? And how it got its name?

It's a cyst that would grow on the back of the hand or fingers, in old days they would bang a thick book (A Bible at that time) to rid of it. Now that I goggled cause I'm so darn curious with some of these questions, I had to look for that one.

Thats the one bossy. I found it when I was googling a ganglion cyst, which is what I have.
Found the juicy titbit on my search.
I will be having surgery to get rid of it.

Parliament! Well you cant call them owls in our Parliament.... although it makes it interesting food for thought about where the actual meaning of the political venue came from. I guess you are meaning today's cup.....now if only I was really avid at this rugby thing. Hmmm and I also hate following the news as it is usually morbid.  |

He he he.... That's an Amazing Travel story alright. My guess is the Rangi whanau from Tauranga. Good for them. Just  but another bit of news is the Shearer who lost a grand. What a wonderful lady to give it in! Honesty is such a good thing.  |

Wiki was good for this Lux. You only need to count 4.3....70% of the world is shark free. Now that's interesting as much as this page was en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark |

Even more! In fact I think you'll be blown away by the figure...it's hardly believable.
