Hwæt
Hwæt is an Old English word meaning "Lo" or "Listen up." It is an attention-getting interjection and the first word of the Beowulf poem. The word is pronounced /hwat/ and rhymes with "that." The initial H is unstressed and emerges as an exhalation.
Sie müssen schlafen aber Ich muss tanzen. ("They must sleep but I must dance.")

Brief Essays
These are essays I wrote a long time ago.
D.C. Metro Area News
These are a few parodic news stories I wrote during the summer of 1999. There used to be more of these stories but I took down the ones that were less funny. These stories are intended for people age 18 or older. Some of them contain language that will offend some people.
