2. “insipid” has to be a better solution. It’s English, for one thing, and it’s a word, not a name. But I wonder if there’s a better solution, with two consecutive “i”s.

3. Mike Jackson, how could Insipid be better? Bikini is shorter…. and, um, names ARE words… There are lots of words with 7 letters that have 3 I’s. But 6 letters, that’s harder.

4. I wondered about the “English” factor too, Mike, and double-checked. Every dictionary I found (and I looked at several) listed “bikini” as a regular word, not just a proper noun.

10. More Blinky Trivia: Blinky can also be seen briefly on the first episode of Futurama. (Actually, since you see him in the year 2999, and Blinky was eaten, it’s probably a descendant.)

11. I first thought virii, but apparently that’s not the correct plural of virus. Oh well.

12. There’s another L in illicit, Laura. Nice word, though, if you’re into that kind of thing. ;)

15. Ahhhh, the fighting Illini…it took me a few tries to pronounce that correctly after I started dating a fan from Illinois…
