Things that make me go.. Wahoo!!!

Got me on that one, dregz

We should have a thread called Sab's Random Fact Of The Day

(no, Pure calling it Sab's Fact Hunt would be childish!) Very Happy

where we can rate how good the random fact is.

My FOTD is WW2 flying aces and that the first top 70 pilots with 100+ "kills" were all German.

You didn't put any quotes in Dregz so it doesn't really work mate.

Think of words ending in "-gry". "Angry" and "hungry" are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

Answer: "What"

The answer, if he'd put it in quotes or said it to us in person would be language.
But he didn't.
So it's not.

nice Mr Pure..
...or if he'd said it verbally ... "agree" , "pedigree" etc etc, although that doesn't really work with the "only three words" part.
How did you mean it Dregz? I'm guessing Pure's answer is what you were after?

"What is the third word?"

True enough Steve-O...
Though I think it would work better verbally.
Christ - I just looked at -gry puzzle on wikipedia - don't do it...
In the light of that I'll change my answer to "onions".

If he was telling us that "what" is the third word then he he'd have to have been making a statement.
"What is the third word !"
But he wasn't.
As it was, he asked a question so the whole thing doesn't work.
