Thats good. Thats a good quote.

Okay, let's get back to talking about bookworms. XD  

[Furyal]

I think 'bookworms' is unfair to bugs. What about bookcatepillars? Bookbeetles? Bookfireants?  

[Otulissa]

Bookflies! ...No. xD

biggrin Bookticks? XD;; We suck the life out of books? Hehe. Or Bookleeches. LOL.  

[Furyal]

Bookcheetah's.. We flip through books just like DAT!  

[Otulissa]

Hehe, I like that one! sad But cheetahs are only fast for short amounts of time...  

[SunnyNights]

bookpanther?

booktiger?  

[Furyal]

Bookninja. XD  

[Otulissa]

Bookinja! Hehe...  

[Furyal]

I am a Bookninja, HIYA!

(Kay randomness. This is the Iron Man song I made up, sung to the toon of 'Spider man, Spider man.'

Iron man, Iron man.
Does whatever an Iron Can
Straighten clothes, side by side.
[insert good lyric here, I couldn't think of one]
Woah! Watch out for Iron Man.)  

[Otulissa]

Not bookninja. razz Skip the first 'n,' so it's "bookinja."

I was wondering why the word "bookworm" meant what it did. Does anybody know why the word "worm" was chosen?

It's because a bookworm is any type of insect that feeds off of the paper and binding of a book. I'm guessing we get the name because we read so much that it's like we 'devour' books. Go figure, book lovers get named after the creepy-crawlies that eat our books. Does that count as an oxymoron?? rolleyes

Bibliophile. : P
discluding the fact I probably spelt it wrong. XD

It really does mean a lover of books... i didn't make it up : P
I just like the word XD ^^'

Oh, wow. XD That's what those bugs are called? I heard a classmate call them "page-bugs." XD;;

Maybe it's an oxymoron. xD Or perhaps just simple irony?
