Starring the Starfish

I admit that this might not be very lexical but I thought we could use a smile once in a while.

Remember my post about Manhattan Fish Market? I was on their website and checking the "fishy facts" section, the part where they tell you general information about fish that you never need to know in real life :D

Here's a screen grab from the site, it's small and pixel-y here but if you click on the picture, the bigger picture will look much better.


















For everyone's benefit, what the last line said was that "A starfish doesn't have a brain". And my lexical priming immediately made me think of this:

About this Blog
Nur Rashidah

This blog is a compulsory component of a Linguistics module I'm taking. I, along with my other coursemates, have to note down our observations on the English Language twice weekly.

I'll try to make the anecdotes as entertaining and personal as possible, but having said that I must stress that this is in no way a personal blog whatsoever :)

Do leave a comment to say hi, criticise constructively or just to share what's up :)

Tag! You're it!
