Pronunciation: swet thret

Sentence: "Dang it", said the Lone Ranger. "I knew I should have never worn these fancy new boots to my faithful companion Tonto's party. They make my feet so hot that I am afraid of being a sweathreat to everyone there!" It was too late to turn Silver around and go home, so the Masked Man went up and knocked at the flap of Tonto's teepee. His anxiety evaporated when Tonto bade him enter and told him to remove his boots and be comfortable. When he hesitated, Tonto knew what was wrong right away (he had that esp thingy going) and said, "Don't worry about your feet,Kimo Sabe, because this is a Sweat Lodge anyway!" The Lone Ranger laughed and relaxed until Tonto said, "Besides it's only the two of us tonight..."

Etymology: Sweat (perspiration, body odour) & Threat (a warning that something unpleasant is imminent)

November 17: The Leonids Typically the Leonid shower is a weak display, with fewer than a dozen meteors per hour radiating from Leo’s Sickle. But the parent comet, 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, tends to create narrow concentrated streams that can produce brief but prodigious displays. That was the case during the late 1990s, and we might be in for a reprise this year. A predicted pulse of activity on November 17th — with hundreds of meteors per hour — will involve contributions from the comet's spewings in 1102, 1466, and 1533. - metrohumanx, 2009-11-12: 06:31:00
