    Probably something to do with roots being the support of the plant.

    Not sure if I believe this, but I was told that the phrases 'taking the p*ss' and 'taking the mickey' come from the same source. The posh term for urinating is micturation, which got shortened to 'mickey'.

    And there is a dyspepsia, which I assume has something to do with the Cola wars.

    I think so. It's something to do with a tendency towards confabulation IIRC.

    I thought we had a full moon last night -(which would explain the huge amount of fruit loops at large) ... It turns out the moon was only a "Waning Gibbous" 98% of full.
    Can't wait for tonight.
