another word we all should know...

raven likes the smell of fresh basil as much as i do. AND ruche\, n. 1. a plaited, quilled, or goffered strip of lace, net, ribbon, or other material. after reading the definition, i felt as if my head was going to take flight into the land of questions -- what does plait, quill and goffer mean? plait, v. 1. to fold; to double in narrow folds; to pleat; as, to plait a ruffle. quill, v. 1. to plaint in small cylindrical ridges, called quillings; as, to quill a ruffle. goffer, v. 1. to plait, flute, or crimp. see gauffer. i find the defintion(s) to be somewhat exhausting to my neural network. below is an email conversation amongst my colleagues. please read bottom's up:

Nat, not to worry. If they had asked the organic compound of mercury or what the square root of 17.4591 was, you would have gotten those and we would have missed them. You are too braniac for the telephone dial type questions.
