People allergic to seafood can eat whale and shark and various other foods that live in the sea. Turns out that the seafood allergy only applies to shellfish, scaly fish, or crustaceans. Sure, that pretty much eliminates most legal choices, but where there is a will, there is a way.

Eating more than four saltines at a time is not easy because they devour all your saliva and you end up chewing on a hard concrete-turning paste. Highly recommended for a good time at the office.

i18n is a numeronym where the 18 is the number of characters omitted from the word internationalization. There are various other ones like L10n which stands for localization, and S12n for Scherpenhuizen. Here’s Mr. Scherpenhuizen’s story:

According to Tex Texin, the first numeronym of [this] kind was “S12n”, the electronic mail account name given to DEC employee Jan Scherpenhuizen by a system administrator because his surname was too long to be an account name. Colleagues who found Jan’s name unpronounceable often referred to him orally as ‘S12n’. The use of such numeronyms became part of the DEC corporate culture, with “i18n” being spawned there in 1985.
