Simply put, a BLOG is a weB LOG. John Kovalic has my favorite take on what that means.

Later that day, I asked my Dad what family of invertebrates slugs and snails were in. He said, “I do not know.”
(Gastropods is the answer.)
When I was seven years old, I beat my 34-year-old Dad 30-to-10 in basketball.
And, a couple of months ago, I beat him 12-to-zero in Halo 2.
I owe my PhD advisor about a truck load of beer on “beer bets” we made about which scientist did what experiments, and various other disagreements most of which I lost. I did win a few bets- one was on spelling- Salomon Berson- he and Roselyn Yallow (who won the Nobel Prize) developed a way to measure hormone concentrations- the RIA- radioimmunoassay
I don’t think we’re going to get Isaac started on “beer bets” just yet (especially as we don’t drink), although he has tried to get extra cash in a similar manner.
It seems from his comments, that the satisfaction of being right at my expense is a great motivator.
Beth won a spelling bet? Don’t believe it! I bet Isaac could outspell you if you omitted scientific names. Just plain old words. Isaac, ask her how to spell a word that starts with “d” and ends with “ly”, has 10 letters and means “most assuredly”, “absolutely”, “you betcha”
