    Talking about fun facts, the English word 'spoken' in Dutch means 'ghosts' and the word 'without' means 'white wood'.

    Excellent deduction there.
    The singular of 'spoken' is 'spook' (pronounced as the English 'spoke').

    Ah yeah, it's Meg Ryan. But she does have a Stevie vibe there!

    What about these words, not good perhaps but certainly keeps you listening (right)?
