Words & Wordplay - March 2007

Does anyone know how many "servings" we should eat in a day total (of all foods)? Of that total, how many servings of each category of foods (meat, fish, veggies, fruits, grains) should be eaten? If you answer in terms of ounces of food or calories - please convert to "servings" -- i.e. what is a "serving"?

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you
can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain
that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is
wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it,
but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit,
you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

I recently answered a question asking what the term for a black person was, and answered that the word was 'Negro', as opposed to 'Caucasian for white people, and possibly 'Mongoloid' for Oriental people. I promptly received a Violation Notice, presumably for using the word negro. My answer was almost word for word as above, without a hint of anything racist, so I can only conclude that the offending item was the use of the word above! Can someone please help
me to figure out why this word has suddenly become offensive?

feedback please, constructive critisism welcome. this was kind of to retaliate from something this guy wrote about me.


Slaughter

To the slaughter, I walked myself willing,
Not for a part of a ritual killing.
I led myself there using seduction,
On my path to self-destruction.

I disappeared behind that bedroom door,
But I come out alive, and the same as before.
I went in, but didn’t even get my fill,
But I’ll be back, and by my own free will.

It’s happened in the past, it will happen in the future,
Please don’t think my heart will need some kind of suture.
I know he doesn’t want me, intoxication let me there,
But don’t let thoughts burden you; it’s none of your affair.

Don’t go thinking it’s such a shame,
I’m the one who chooses to plays the game,
I’m not even what you think I am,
Cause I’m not like a lamb.

I know we use a capital letter when the noun denotes a particular individual item rather than a kind of thing, so when we say Physics should we use a capital letter?
