I was cruising snopes.com because frankly, you can find some really odd, even funny stuff on there. What’s even better is that some of it is actually true. Such is the case of one Fredric J. Baur, of Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Baur isn’t exactly very widely known but one part of his [...]

I ran across an odd sounding word today… Schlage. I’ve never seen or heard this word before and it struck me kind of oddly because I had to stop and think about what it might possibly mean. My first thought is that it might be Gaelic in origin.
