One fine day in the middle of the night
Two dead men got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other

Sounds like you John

I hear there's a device for checking whether your hotel room is haunted. It's called an Inn-Spectre Gadget.
Hi Celadon, I can't get to my OED at the moment. What's a citon?

Hi Bees,

Just come on-line. My OED does'nt list citon. It lists:- citizette then citole. However, I read a physics paper some time ago that included an ur-citon particle that decays under UV light.

Hi Bees,
Is the spelling set in stone?
According to an on-line medical dictionary, a cyton = cell body of a neuron; called also soma.
A variant spelling, perhaps?

Sorry chaps,
I misread posting 479. What's a cition?
(I take it's not like "London's a cition the Thames").

See what information we'd have missed out on learning, if this thread were discontinued?

THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE THIS

I never quite figured out why the sexual urges of men and women differ so much. And I never figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women think with their heart.
I have never figured out why the sexual desire gene gets thrown into a state of turmoil when it hears the words "I do"

FOR EXAMPLE:
One evening last week, my wife and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says,
"I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."
I said "WHAT???!!! What was that?!"
So she says the words that every husband on the planet dreads to hear...
"You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man."
She then responded to my puzzled look by saying,
"Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"
Realising that nothing was going to happen that night I went to sleep. The very next day I opted to take the day off work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take so I told her we'd just buy them all.
She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said lets get a pair for each outfit. We went to the jewellery department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you, she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.
I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey."
She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation she finally said, "I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier."
I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it."
Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled "WHAT??!!!"
I then said "Really honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me I added,
"Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"
…Apparently I won't be having sex again until sometime after pigs fly over a frozen hell.
