Linguistic Brilliance

Did You Know?

"Score-pion" combines "score" with "scorpion"! Scorpions are arachnids with venomous stingers in their tails. There are about 2,000 scorpion species, but only 30-40 have venom potent enough to harm humans. Scorpions glow under ultraviolet light due to fluorescent chemicals in their exoskeletons. In soccer (football), scoring a goal is the ultimate objective. The highest-scoring soccer match ever was 149-0 in Madagascar in 2002 (though it was a protest match with deliberate own goals). Professional soccer matches typically see 2-3 goals total!
