chowderhead 愚瓜、笨伯
前僟天我們剛說過一個關於"笨拙"的表達-- dumbbell, 剛巧有同壆詢問chowderhead的涵義。Chowderhead也是"愚瓜、笨伯"，但與dumbbell比拟，chowderhead的凌辱象征更濃，更着重於圆行，尤見於波士頓天區。
先說說詞的搆成，chowder是我們常說的雜燴湯，但经常特指"用牛奶或西紅柿做湯底的濃湯，湯裏常参加蔬菜（如土荳跟洋蔥），和魚或貝類（特别是蛤）"，据說這種食法最后由法國人傳进英國。
Chowderhead進进英語詞匯與chowder毫無坤係，18世紀初期，形容或人"傻瓜、笨伯"的欺侮性用語是cholterhead(現已不必)，隨著心頭的傳述，cholterhead漸演變成chowerdhead。别的，再告訴年夜傢一個類似的表達--jolterhead, 它也用來描述或人是"傻瓜"。不敢再說了，可則有人要懷疑我們正在開"傻瓜散會"了。

President Bush Signs H.R. 5140, the Economic Stimulus Act of
February 13, 2008
THE PRESIDENT: Thanks for ing. Thanks for the warm wele. I'm pleased to be joined by leaders of both parties to enact an economic growth package for the American people.
You know, a lot of folks in America probably were saying that it's impossible for those of us in Washington to find mon ground, to reach promise on important issues. I didn't feel that way; I know the leaders didn't feel that way. And as a result, we have e together on a single mission -- and that is to put the people's interests first. And I really do wele the members of Congress and I thank you for your hard work.
Madame Speaker, I thank you for your leadership. Senator Reid, I thank you for your leadership, as well. I appreciate very much the fact that the Vice President has joined us, along with Congressman Boehner, Congressman Hoyer, Senator Mitch McConnell, Congressman Roy Blunt, Congressman Jim Clyburn, and other members of the House and the Senate. You're wele here in the people's house any time.
I'm very grateful that members of my Cabinet have joined us. Secretary Paulson was the leader in the negotiations on this, and I thank you very much for your hard work, Mr. Secretary. You're earning your pay. (Laughter.) Appreciate other members of my Cabinet who have joined us, as well.

In Germany, 10,000 Easter eggs grace tree
Kraft's apple sapling sported just 18 eggs when he first decorated it for Easter in 1965. The number increased year by year; and by last year, the sturdy tree was festooned with 9,800 eggs, artfully decorated with everything from sequins to sea shells.
This time, Kraft has reached 10,000 — and he says he's stopping there.
