Going back to the earlier question zyzygy, I, like ssmart, who gave the answer - where did you find it? - can't find it in any dicitonary spelt with a z. It's correctly spelt syzygy. I'd be interested...

Adolf

Adolf Hitler was an artist before making a rather radical career change after WWI. Anyone know if any of his artworks survive, and, if so, are they on show anywhere? Were they any good?

Presumptious

What's the difference between 'presume' and 'assume', if you're saying 'I assume that is what you meant', for e.g.? Lots of people seem to use the two words interchangeably.

Cornish pasty

I overheard someone saying something like 'with tree, pole and pen, so will you know Cornish men' (??). What were they on about? I'm from Cornwall and I've never heard that rhyme before.
