Since the sixteenth century, we have written records about gnomes, right?

So, why are scientists now pronouncing it differently, and talking as though they've found something new?
G nome this, G nome that :dunno:

It must have something to do with how far ones head is up ones arse.

Garry R made mention of this sort of head tucking referring to the "Smyths"
It was Smith... But one of them got all... You know, uppity..

It's in the word uppity
Up - It.

:agree: :lol: I remember that without looking it up, Eric:
"How do you do?
I'm a g-nu etc"

Actually, Gnus brings to mind another point.
Why do we have to put up with Rain Deer in the snow?
How come the scientisits haven't produced any Snow Deer?
