kil·ter
noun
Good condition; proper form: "policy adjustments designed to bring the
. . . country's economy back into kilter with the Western economic system"
(Edward Zuckerman). [Origin unknown.]
Late as it was Aunt Atossa was cutting potato sets in the Wright kitchen. She wore a faded
old wrapper, and her gray hair was decidedly untidy. Aunt Atossa did not like being
"caught in a kilter," so she went
out of her way to be disagreeable.
Anne of the Island
Lucy Maud Montgomery

The millipede lives in dark, damp places. It generally feeds on dead and decaying plant
material. Sometimes they will feast on living plants and are therefore unwelcome in
gardens and greenhouses. The millipede is harmless to humans. They do not bite, and they
are not poisonous. Sources: |The Handy Science Answer Book - Visible Press | Audubon Nature Encyclopedia |

HOW TO BAKE A CAKE Preheat oven, get out utensils and ingredients. The Washington Post's "Style Invitational"
asks readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or
changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are some recent winners:
A truck driver used to amuse himself by running over
lawyers he would see walking down the side of the road. Every time he would see a lawyer
walking along the road, he would swerve to hit him, and there would be a loud
"THUMP" and then he would swerve back on the road. A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender
says, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened, you look terrible!" A journalist assigned to the Jerusalem bureau takes
an apartment overlooking the Wailing Wall. Every day when she looks out, she sees an old
Jewish man praying vigorously. So the journalist goes down to the wall, and introduces
herself to the old man. She asks: "You come every day to the wall. How long have you
done that and what are you praying for?" TRUE FACT ... Humans begin laughing at two to three months of age. Six year olds laugh about 300 times per day, while adults laugh from 15 to 100 times per day. SOURCE: NYT, Dr. William F. Fry, Stanford University
