In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Word Count 

Here's a cool time waster Mario found. This site has the 86,800 most commonly used English words, in order of frequency of use. You can type in a word and see what is next to it. When I put in my name I got this: continually furious Kim. Isn't that weird? The word next to "Mario" is "uniquely," which he certainly is. The most common word in English? The. The least common? Conquistador. Now you can't say you never learned anything truly useful whilst browsing Furious Spinner.

And speaking of counting words, the first anniversary of Furious Spinner is coming up in August. I want to do something special for my readers. I'm thinking about a quiz to determine who is the "best" Furious Spinner reader. It would probably be made up of 13 questions about what you've been reading on this weblog. The winner would get signed copies of my three novels, plus bragging rights. Whaddya think?
