Erk! Sorry, that should have been Ennui. Slight mis-spelling there, but that's nothing unusual for me.

There is only one inborn error, that is the notion we exist in order to be happy.
This arises from constantly deluded hope and so also dissatisfaction.

If the English language made any sense, a catastrophe would be an apostrophe with fur.

No, faience is a sort of self glazing clay. The egyptians used to use it a lot to make jewellery, Ushabti etc. Only they called it Inr-n-wdh.
There's another sort of faience which is basically tin-glaze (like delftware).
Wikipedia says "Egyptian faience was not made of clay but rather of a ceramic composed primarily of quartz."
Possibly one of the most idiotic things I've ever read. ALL clay contains quartz, as silica, and ceramic *is* clay. Idiotic. (mumble mumble)

(this doesn't seem like it should be a hard one, but I can't really think of anything else...)
By the way, does anyone else play the game Text Twist online? It's a cousin of Boggle, and dangerously addictive...
