Previous message: Robert J. Woolley: "Re: O+g" In reply to: eramirez@icepr.com: "Re: OB: Consanguinity" Its similar to the one I've heard since I was a kid: "Railroad Crossing, watch out for the cars. Can you spell that without any R's?" The question is a non sequitor, it does not follow from and is independent of the first statement. >Here is the riddle in its original form: >"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There >are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The >word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened >carefully, I have already told you what it is." >In its proper, original form, the first two sentences have absolutely >nothing to do with the question: "Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry >and hungry are two of them." Ignore those two sentences. They are there >only to throw you off course. (And it worked, didn't it?) What's left >is the actual riddle itself: "There are only three words in the English >language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses >every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what >it is." The key is the phrase "the English language." In this three-word >phrase, the third word is simply the word "language." Get it? "Language" >is definitely something that "everyone uses every day"! Without that >quirky little twist, the puzzle would be just another trivia question, >not a riddle. > >Joe P.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
