and the goldfish memory thing, parang busted na sa mythbuster....

[niky]

No, taunt is "tawnt"... month is "muhnth".

What the heck is abstemious? I already knew facetious (tried figuring out the aeiou thing myself before) and "The quick brown fox..." (use this for typing practice).

Hmmm... from the internet... oo nga, they busted that Goldfish myth.
