Thus my name has three 7's in it...

Also I find it funny whenever i figure out the meaning of a word in a different language...for example the word tempete.
If you thought about it for a while you might be able to figure out that it is close to the word Tempest which also means terrible storm....woooo spooky!

And Rocket that was quite clever... what website did you get it from? J/K

Also there's this thing with French where vowels with a circomflex accent followed by a t often have an s inserted between them in English:

forêt = forest
mât = mast
tempête = tempest

EDIT: Some more I found:
fête = fest (celebrate/celebration i.e. La fête de la musique)
pâte = paste

The french language has done that to me many, many times. Comprendre = To understand (comprehend) is the only one that I've managed not to forget

"S inserted in English" is bit silly way to say it since the S was there in French words, too, back in good old times when the word was loaned from French to English or English to French. Both had the S, French just dropped it off later.

I'm sure the Cubs will win the series in 2008, and then make their fans wait another century until they do it again. I'm only joking I actually wouldn't mind seeing them win, I've always liked the traditional ball parks over the newer stadiums and Wrigley is one of the last of them left. (I know they have blocked seats and less amenities but they have a lot more character and each one was unique.)

Which is more than I can say for Maple Leaf Gardens, the Leafs old home, which although is the last of the original six NHL arenas left and probably one of the more famous hockey arenas, is attempting to be gutted and turned into a grocery store with 2 levels of internal parking by its current owner Loblaws. And how did Loblaws get it, well the current owners of the Leafs and their new arena refused to sell the old gardens to anyone who actually planed on keeping it as a hockey arena(and they did get several offers) because they didn't want any competition for the new Air Canada Center, regardless of how important the building's history is to most hockey fans and players (it is featured on the Conn Smythe trophy) . Ah well that's just my gripe for not getting a chance to go skating there before they closed it down.

the thing you have to know is the English language has been based off the French language so therefore there are many similarities
