Adding my new word to this thread.
Guyot: A flat-topped, extinct submarine volcano having an elevation of over 1,000 m (3,280 ft) above the ocean floor. Guyots are thought to form as volcanos in sea-floor spreading zones and to become extinct as they move away from the spreading zones through plate tectonic forces. Here is a picture of a guyot in the Afar Depression in Ethiopia. The Awash River is seen across top left.

I played 18 holes in 75 minutes this AM, a new record for me.
That is really fast. Were you doing the speed golf?

All the more impressive when one considers that you fit 250 shots into those 75 minutes.
Not true, he only had 4 shots!
Oh, you meant swings.

My 75 minutes with 81 strokes would be 156, not really competitive. Maybe if there was an old man competition.

Wow! Solo? I have gotten close to that at about 85 minutes.
Yes, solo. Lately it has been with 2 or 3 other guys. But I had a solo day and decided to speed it up. I think I could get under an hour if I pushed.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

One hundred thousand pounds in legal tender bills were issued on April 25, 1759, to be valid until March 1, 1767. This was later extended until October 15, 1769. The Penn family's coat of arms appears on the front of the bill and a nature print is on the back. Benjamin Franklin and David Hall printed the bills in Philadelphia. The spelling of "Pennsylvania" differs on most of the denominations of the notes, and it is thought that Franklin purposely did this to deter counterfeiting.
