We are obviously going to have the same problems of confusion with 'knucklehead' as we have with 'someone' ;-)

I guess we all will just have to improve our abilities of garnering meaning from context. I have deliberately used "someone" in both senses simultaneously, but not, as yet, "knucklehead."

Actually I did take chemistry in high school. Not only that, but I also took chemicals. I don`t know about 'lead', but the 'acid' was cool.
'Baking soda' floated the submarines from the cereal box. It`s all good though.

The difference between theists and atheists is that the atheists don't set the theists on fire for refusing to agree with them.

And what a long strange trip it`s been.
It`s been melo though, & I keep a photographic journal of it all.
