Tower:
What about the Perdiz point?

JW_Halverson:
Perdiz?  What is the etymology of that word?  It is very similar to the Latin for partridge, "perdix".  For those of you that think Latin is a dead language that has all the fun wring out of it by nuns and professors, perdix is also Latin slang for a fart.

Prior to the education you dark side rock knockers have given me, I would have called the Perdiz points "bird points". 

By the way, to everyone that posts on this thread, thank you very much.  I really enjoy looking at your work and learning little bits here and there. 

TRACY:

Tower, I'd be glad to give it go, so I'll second the motion! Anyone else object?
