Cool Site: Oxymoronica

For word lovers, like me, a fun site to check out is Oxymoronica:

"Oxymoronica, n., A compilation of self-contradictory terms, phrases, or quotations; examples of oxymoronica appear illogical or nonsensical at first, but upon reflection, make a good deal of sense and are often profoundly true."

For example:

"You can't make anything idiot proof because idiots are so ingenious." Ron Burns

"Nolan Ryan's pitching much better now that he has his curve ball straightened out." Joe Garagiola

"You'd be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap." Dolly Parton
