Steaming hot images

Warm,  what a strange word.  Here look;

warm warm warm warm warm warm warm warm warm warm warm

warm warm warm
WARM

and if you say it enough, it sounds like a word from an archaic foreign language.  It is a middle English word from the Old English word wearm, but that doesn't fully explain it's alien quality....  After a bit more research I've found that the word warm (or wearm) was first uttered in the middle of a unusual heat wave that struck the British isles just as the Anglo Saxons were rowing over in their heavy boats.  Dressed for the usual cold and rainy weather, they had become overheated, and in their delirium could only make the sound "wearm" or warm as we know it, and now we say warm to convey slightly hot.

 

Norton Bush has commemorated a few paintings in honor of that momentous event.
