Saint of the Day: - Gonzalo de Amarante would be a fantastic saint to take on a picnic. When workmen who were helping him to build a bridge ran out of wine, he cracked open a rock with his stick and wine poured out. When the workmen ran out of food, he went to the water and fish jumped out on command.

Nicholas Ralph's Word of the Day: "Cunctation". A delay, as in "Today's kick-off has been cunctated by fifteen minutes due to the cunctation in the arrival of the visitors' train".
