ok so i find this word to be hilarious:

bootless BOOT-lis, adjective:

Unavailing; useless; without advantage or benefit.

I have seen a swan

With bootless labour swim against the tide.--Shakespeare, Henry VI, Part III

A noble intention, a decent attempt to bust bigger heads than their own with their best weapons, but bootless and, ultimately, senseless, too. --Gordon Monson, "Ute Defense Headlines Bland Game," Salt Lake Tribune, September 1, 2002

A crew of divers was scheduled to start cleaning the seaweed off the net in preparation for winter, although now it seemed like a bootless task, given that Keiko mightnever come back. --Susan Orlean, "Where's Willy?" The New Yorker, September 16, 2002

Late in the nineteenth century there had been a bootless competition between Munich and Berlin as to which was more modern, more civilized. --Peter Gay, My German Question

i will encourage all of you and myself to read (if you have time after hw) My German Question: Growing Up in Nazi Berlin by Peter Gay. it sounds like an inspirational book by a man with a very unfortunate last name.

the TA (teacher's assistant) in my geology class got up in the beginning of class to write info on the board. however, a little more than the bottom half of her shorts were completely soaked. when asked if she was staying she said, not i am very wet and then left in a hurry. some things we should just accept, and not question.

ok i have to go and sleep
