Re: Cord vs Rick

When I asked the question, "whatsa rick?", I had no idea the thread
would morph into Haggis and arachnophobia.

Doing a "define:rick" on Google yields:

     * pile in ricks; "rick hay"
     * crick: a painful muscle spasm especially in the neck or back
      (`rick' and `wrick' are British)
     * haystack: a stack of hay
     * twist: twist suddenly so as to sprain; "wrench one's ankle"; "The
       wrestler twisted his shoulder"; "the hikers sprained their ankles
       when they fell"; "I turned my ankle and couldn't walk for several
       days"
       wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

     * Rick is a 2003 movie based on Verdi's Rigoletto starring Bill
       Pullman and written by Daniel Handler.
       en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_(movie)

     * Rick was the professional name used by a long-haired, male model
       of Chinese origin, most famous for appearing in The All-Nude
       Workout Video (1992), which was widely marketed in the UK
       throughout the 1990s. He appears along with Susan and David
       Martin, a naturist couple, performing a variety of aerobic
       exercises and also practising weightlifting. Additionally, he
       featured in the video guide to naturist photography, Shooting
       the Nude in the Nude.

Note:  No mention of lumber, wood, cooling off, warming up, fires,
stoves, haggis, gas, spiders, or Yorkshiremen, clothed or not.  After 18
years of heating with wood and wondering if there was a better way to
warm up in winter, we discovered that someone had already invented
central heat.
