Here come the twits

[trochee]

In brief:

• 13:18 don't rap at the Utah drive through: codypickrodt.com/2010/04/colbert-report-drive-through-rapping/ #
• 14:54 Registered for HLT/NAACL & workshops [and plane fare, and hotel]. Glad it's relatively nearby! #
• 15:30 Twilight comic (and, frankly, entire idea) greatly improved by replacing Edward dialog with Marvel Dracula dialog: bit.ly/a7x4xY #
• 16:12 I did not know this: 'artichoke' is derived from Arabic. @wordnik agrees: www.wordnik.com/words/artichoke/etymologies #

I often use twitter to mention what's happening or linkdump. I LT here for posterity.

that al- fossil morpheme is surprisingly common, isn't it.

Also, artichokes are closely related to thistles! neat!
