Great word @sprite1950 I knew cows have more than one stomach but didn't know the name of one.

@thisnthat Nice I experience Hypnagogia a lot during the morning before I get up. Just didn't know what the term was for it. Most times, I can hear what is going on around me but I might also be in a sort of dream.

My word of the day is anoesis (an-o-ee-sis) which means a state of mind consisting of only pure sensation or emotion without any thought or cognitive content definition is from Dictionary.com

This happens to me when I eat a good piece of chocolate.

@Angie10 Good word I am glad that it is mythical though. I wouldn't want to run into either end.
