Unconscious Mutterings states: Each week I'll post ten words to which you can respond to with the first thing that comes to mind.

My responses to this week's words:

6. Investigation :: backfires

I'm always surprised at the number of people who same-brainstorm the words. :-)

Words Rise

Words have always fascinated me - 3 years of Latin increased that level.

Lately, I've wondered about the use of words by disparate groups and the accusations of plagiarism about very familiar phrases from other times.

Blogging through a variety of memes, I find that a specific topic frequently uncovers the use of very similar, if not the same, words and phrases in posts by participating bloggers.

Interesting? To me, it is... These words are from Unconscious Mutterings, a rather fun meme I just discovered. Apparently, it's been going on for quite some time without me. :) I'm anxious to find out what others responded to the prompts.

1. Passport :: Too late
2. Small world :: Disneyland
3. Radio :: Music
4. Marine :: War
5. Wall :: Separated
6. Wanna be :: Farce
7. Pigtails :: Freckles
8. Hyphen :: Long
9. 9.99 :: Ten bucks plus
10. Unrated :: Tacky
