From CBC this AM. Can't resist.
Harper: One who harps,
Harpy: A fabulous monster ....... supposed to act as a minister of divine vengence.
And then we have the 'Ditherer'. what to do, what to do.
Inanda, feeling naughty today, even though a harpy is female
BTW Has everyione read 'To Kill a Mockingbird". Kiddo here has called her first babe Harper. Cute.

Harper
when my first great niece was still unborn and parent not wanting to use ultrasound to determine sex was nicknamed scout - i sometimes still call her that.
That is cute. Make sure you tell her why, when she is old enough. Hopefully it will send her to the book.
Does anyone know why my bro Jeremy is called Fisher?
Inanda
hmmm
He likes to fish?
He likes to play chess?
He's a man of clergy?
He's a great swimmer?
Because he looks like one (now this is just a guess, I've never seen him, so absolutely no offence meant!)
Nobody reads Beatrice Potter?
Ginny
not for a million years now. Wish I could shake away the cobwebs and get this ole mind back work.
Beatrix actually. (courtesy of Echoes who knows other things besides all the latin around).
Ginny
I thought something was funny about that name earlier....couldn't quite put my finger on it... :-)
Jeremy Fisher the Frog
Ginny
who has a kid called Anton - nickname Wonton from almost the day he was born
That's a hoot! :-) Hopefully he doesn't mind. (?)
I love the Beatrix Potter books.
