Quote from Clivefrog :
Does the word lettuce have a French origin?
"Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is without doubt the world's most popular salad plant. Both its common and its Latin name are based on an easily noticeable characteristic-it has a heavy, milky juice. The word "lettuce" is probably derived from the Old French laitues (plural of laitue), meaning "milky," referring to this plant. The Latin root word lac ("milk") appears in the Latin name lactuca."

I have some dead skin from a blister on my thumb that kind of looks like Illinois.

Arrrrgh! In an effort to get GoGoGoGodzilla out of my head... I made the unfortunate mistake of replacing it with Electric Avenue. Doh
