Not bad Microsoft, not bad.
A word a day..
lolosaurus
Greater than LOL, ROFL, LMAO, LMFAO and ROFFLES, Lolosaurus is perhaps the greatest e-way of saying “I find that funny and would wish to say so in a grandiose fashion”. However if it were to ever be translated into a laugh it would kill the laugher.

Recession-hit Americans can now watch hundreds of free movies – by using a new web site to borrow DVDs from their friends.
“It’s like Netflix meets Facebook,” said Jackson, founder of LendAround.com. “You list some DVDs you own, invite some friends you like, and start browsing their collections. The web site helps arrange loans, and keeps track of where everyone’s DVDs are. And nobody pays anyone anything.”
Jackson estimates that though there are over two billion DVDs in US homes,80 per cent are watched just twice a year. “What stops us sharing with friends isn’t meanness,” he said, “it’s embarrassment. Borrowers don’t know how to ask, and lenders fear they’ll forget who they lent a treasured movie to.”
LendAround solves the problem for both sides. Browse and search tools make it easy to find out what movies and TV are in friends’ collections, and a Your DVDs tab shows the location of every lent out DVD. A ‘retrieve’ button allows owners to ask for their movie back without having to call or email the borrower.
So, who wants an invite? 
Ugly?!
What kind of name is OX? No, not like the animal OX, as in HUG and KISS! How can he hug you with such short arms? OX uses his ears! He’s not a very good listener, but he puts his ears to good use in many other ways! OX is great at magic, and his best trick is turning your stuff into his stuff. His best buddy Wedgehead calls that stealing, but OX just wants to borrow things from you for a few hundred years. He promises to put everything back when he’s done. What he wants to steal most are kisses, whether they’re in the chocolate variety or just plain, and he promises to be your friend if you would lend him a hand, or an ear…or like Two Dollars!
