Today's New Word
(from the Oxtail English Dictionary) Ludlow - (noun) A wad of newspaper, folded table-napkin or lump of cardboard put under a wobbly table or chair to make it stand up straight. It is not, perhaps, widely known that air-ace Sir Douglas Bader used to to get about on an enormous pair of ludlows before he had his artificial legs fitted.

"God's wife? I didn't know that God had a
wife." And I didn't.
I knew that every dog had its day and that trouble
shared was a trouble halved and I even knew that if
you take two mobile phones, call one of them with
the other, then place the two of them ten
inches apart on a table with a raw egg between
them, the egg will be cooked in less than twenty
minutes.*
But I never knew that God had a wife.
*This is true.
You can try it yourself if you don't believe me.
It's a very expensive way to cook an egg, but it's
one of the reasons why I don't own a mobile phone.
