Cat-chan "The little dragon took an experimental bite out of the table, chewed it for a few seconds, spat it out, curled up and went to sleep" pg 158, Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett, Harper Torch edition. My friend says that sound like me. Only thing is, I don't bite tables, since I know they taste woody. I just sleep. ^^
I didn't work out that "periferi" meant "peripheral" until I was 2 years out of high school. After that? I understood a whole lot more about the nervous system.
