ventaToday's word from The Calendar is great:
pitchkettled
meaning puzzled. I have no idea why, but I like it.
It also says:
"On this date in 1944, as the Allies prepared to invade France at Normandy, a minor detail in a London Daily Telegraph crossword puzzle raised considerable alarm among the military brass. During the preceding month, the puzzle had contained code words the invasion planners had been using, including Omaha, mulberry, Neptune and Utah. On June 2, overlord, the word secretly asssigned to the entire massive assault, appeared as a solution to "eleven across" from the previous day. British inteligence officers quickly arrested Leonard Dawe, a physics teacher and twenty-year veteran crossword puzzle writer for the news-paper, but they quickly determined that this was simply an amazing coincidence rather than an act of espionage."

I believe there are people with forms of insomnia who rest but never really sleep, though. I'm sure the Barenaked Ladies wouldn't lie to me.
