Thanks, MSNBC. I’ve been wondering about that.

So, I’m surfin’ the net and stumble upon this journalistic jewel in an article about how the full moon Friday night will be the biggest of the year:
“There is no proof the full moon makes people crazy.”
Oh! Well, thanks. I’d lost a lot of sleep over that one.
Then, of course, there’s this tidbit (emphasis mine):
“At moonrise, the moon will appear even larger than it will later in the night when it’s higher in the sky. This is an illusion that scientists can’t fully explain. Some think it has to do with our perception of things on the horizon vs. stuff overhead.”
Stuff.
(sigh)
Quality.

I am bowled over by the awesomely profound wordsmithing (note sarcasm).

object, entity, item … and STILL even way better than stuff: “things.”
Noted. And FOR REAL they used the word stuff. I’m still in awe.
