For some reason I always end up checking the "Euphorisms" on the side on the page here...and right now mine was, "What does the K in K-mart actually stand for?" and I thought I'd let you all know that it stands for Kresge -- the last name of KMart's founder, Sebastian Kresge.





Okay, I'm sorry, I'm bored.
