Rapeseed...?

i'm wondering if any of you have ever heard of Rapeseed... sitting in my kitchen the other day here in southern poland my roomate looks across the room and reads the label on our oil "rapeseed oil"... what the heck is rapeseed? do they even sell it in the US? i have some serious doubts... one cause i've never heard of it... two cause it doesn't have a very attractive marketing name... ah Poland.

stupid people

so i am reading up on how to move my stuff in my apartment and come across this advice on eHow.com...

"Disassemble beds, dressers and chests before moving. If you have a waterbed, drain it first."

i am sorry but anybody that tries to move a waterbed without DRAINING IT FIRST - i would have to classify as a stupid person... and anyone that would write this as "moving advice" would about fall in that category too...

i'm learning to increase my english vocabulary...

don't ask why buy i've developed this habit of having a word pop into my head, then going to www.dictionary.com to make sure i am defining it correctly...

maybe my vocab or interest in increasing it started when i signed up to a list that sends you a 'new word of the day'. it's good for me.

what is your favourite scarcely or randomly used word??
