On my iGoogle I have a couple of what I think are interesting applications (im a geek). One of the applications is Word of the Day and today's word of the day is:
centromere
(noun) The most condensed and constricted region of a chromosome, to which the spindle fiber is attached during mitosis.
Um... when am I going to use this word in a sentence? "Wow there are so many people at the mall today, now I know what a centromere feels like." or "My closet has so many clothes packed into its like a centomere. I think I even see some spindle fiber coming out."
Yeah, no. I might be weird, and say weird things, but I can assure you iGoogle that this is not a word that will be said in my day.
