Words of the Day

For those of you wondering why I chose <noetical.blogs.friendster.com> as the URL for my blog, it is because NOETICAL is one of my favorite words. In case anyone is interested, I have defined it below:

Noetic: No*et"ic (n-tk); also, Noetical: No*et"ic*al (n-t-kl) adj. Of, relating to, originating in, or apprehended by the intellect.; intellectual; of or associated with or requiring the use of the mind; "intellectual problems"; "the triumph of the rational over the animal side of man." [syn: intellectual, rational] [Greek nosis, understanding. See noesis.]
