I only heard of Gösta Nystroem a couple of weeks ago.

I was very impressed by this piece of music. It starts slowly, like a voyage to the icebergs. As I grow older I feel the north tugging me.

Don't be beastly to a billionaire

Or greet them with a frown.

For as you know they're only there

So wealth can trickle down.

Which came first?

Suppose there were a race between two wampuses, Wampus One and Wampus Two, that resulted in a dead heat.

Then I suppose you might say that Wampus One won and Wampus Two won too.

Q. What do you call a Loch that thinks it exists?

A. Conscious Ness.

 'Howl' is from Medieval English 'houlen' which seems related to similar words in many Germanic and Scandinavian languages, and ultimately to Latin 'ululare' (as in ululate) and Greek 'υλαν'. It's thought the word is an imitation of the sound. I like this from Caxton

"The dogges herd the voys of the wulf wherefore they beganne to barke and to howle."

But owl is also from the same root. Old English had 'ule' and 'ulula', evidently from the Latin word. So owls do howl.

Q. What do alcoholic Greek cats drink?

Each war is the war to end all wars.

There is a pause, but then

It all begins again.
