Rhythm is the only word in the english language with no vowels.
Some would argue that "y" is at least a quasi vowel. Accepting for the sake of argument that it isn't, then there's alot of words without vowels like crypt, nymph, gym, etc..

I see you're in (from?) Alabama. I don't think you have room to talk.

Just kidding, of course. It's pretty sad that a team of civil and architectural engineers (non-Newfoundlanders, by the way - it was a non-local company that designed it) would miss something as important as the TONS of books in a library when calculating foundation requirements....

If Barbie were life-size, her measurements would be 39-23-33. She would stand seven feet, two inches tall. Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts.


I think that seven feet, two inches is WAY taller than "life-size"...thus making her bigger than "life-size". Lets shrink her down to a woman's average height and do away with this "important fact".
