RE: A thousand points of light? And the Chiliagon?
Just so long as the challenge does not become a chilligon challenge. Which when I first saw the word my first thought was how similar it was to challenge,I think I like the sound "chiliasm" makes in my head, but it also brings on a chilly feeling. Some words are just to much fun, 1000, what a nice sounding way to say one thousand. "In two chiliasm's the ability of man to think and reason when confronted by conflicting thoughts has not improved over much"
Chiliagon and challenge are very similar! That's interesting. Thanks for leaving some thoughts. :) I wonder if there's a tie in there some how, perhaps I should look up the word challenge next. :D
And yeah, language is fun to learn about in my opinion! I hope to do more challenges in the IFC about words and language including the challenge of yours that won.
And.. Hmm.. I don't see any connection in the etymology, challenge appears to largely mean to "accuse" or to dispute/claim.

Still interesting though. :) I'ma remember that.
