shakatanyMany months ago I did a post about a horse who painted. It seems that in additon to painting apes and elephants and horses there are now dogs who paint - read about it here. Of course these animals all seem to be abstract painters as to our eyes what's on the canvas doesn't seem to resemble anything real but who knows?
Also came across a cute site called Wordspy that lists neologisms found in the press like:
exergaming n. An activity that combines exercise with video game play. —adj. Also: exer-gaming.
—exergame n.
—exergamer n.
which I guess came into being after the new Wii was released.
microblogging pp. Posting short thoughts and ideas to a personal blog, particularly by using instant messaging software or a cell phone. Also: micro-blogging.
—microblog v., n.
—microblogger n.
which I've occasionally seen done on my flist and finally these two
ungoogleable n. A person for whom no information appears in an Internet search engine, particularly Google. —adj. Also: unGoogleable, ungooglable, unGoogle-able.
and
googleability (goo.gul.uh.BIL.uh.tee) n. The ease with which information about a person can be found on an Internet search engine, particularly Google. Also: Googleability, googlability, google-ability.
—googleable adj.
English is certainly a growing, living language.
