Oy! Veh! and Hee hee!, Laird A! :) But saaay, wasn’t that You I saw Out with Beryl Streep at Starylbucks the other day? :> And what the hell WAS that You Two ;} were sipping anyways, their featured “Beryllium Mocha Bean Bery-Bery Good To Me”? Ye wanna watch Out fer dat shtuff, yer liable t’ be After goin’ In fer th’ ould Barium enema & as you know I’m sure to be Sure, anemone of my enemy is NoJack dinna Kennemie. / I Thanky. (anarchiCockle smile / libertineArianism be blowed :)
But now that Alasdair is temporarily Decomissioned doon on the Flure for the moment :) ~ re this Beryl who Blows no Good let me just Say as I’ve Commented before, Steer hard a-Starboard bh’ys, put yer Backs into it! :>
Crap! That Beryl bitch looks like she is winding up to punch Washington, DC in the balls. I wonder if Bush will be more responsive if a bunch of fat white Senators are stranded in flood waters than he was with black folks in New Orleans.
Well Beryl is a mineral, but apparently its a name more common in Great Britain, maybe Alasdair can confirm that, but all the people listed in Wikipedia with the first name Beryl were famous British women. And apparently a villian in the anime Sailor Moon. Ok so maybe it is weird…anyway its all linked here if you are bored and/or curious.
Beryl (beryllium aluminate cyclosilicate) ranges from a semi-precious to a precious gem. Multiple months’ birthstones are, fact, forms of beryl–March is aquamarine, and May is emerald, which are both varieties of beryl (in much the same way that sapphires and rubies are both versions of the same basic mineral, corundum [aluminum oxide]). More importantly for the Tolkien-crazed among us (re: Brendan), Beryl appears in those books as “elf stones”.

Beryl was a popular female name for many years, but (at least used to be) considered a bit archaic …
Isn’t Beryl a semi-precious crystalline ? (Don’t remember offhand for which zodiac sign)
Anyway, I’m too Scots to pay $tarbuck$ prices !

Mike, you’re supposed to be the resident biologist, not the resident geologist. Know your place. :-P
