                    zenzizenzizenzic-meaning, the 8th power of a number. Where the 'eck would anyone use that?!?!

                          and , if it was so 'obvious' in the first place why do they need to point it out by saying 'obviously'?

                          'Spin', 'spin doctor/ing', it's LYING !!, stop trying to make it sound ok!
