.....and she named it "Epicurious"!

Epicurious n. (Aust.) blog dedicated to the practice of inquiry for pleasure, random happy insights, pleasurable surprises, and strange delights [Epicurus (341-270 BC), Gk philosopher + Curious a. inquisitive, strange, surprising]

And because the first person to read this is likely to be my my most curious friend, Dan, who is also a philosopher-in-waiting, I am including the following additional info:

Epicurus (Greek Έπίκουρος) (341 BCE, Samos – 270 BCE, Athens) was an ancient Greek philosopher and the founder of the school of philosophy called Epicureanism. Only a few fragments and letters remain of Epicurus's 300 written works. Much of what we know about Epicurean philosophy derives from later followers and commentators.

For Epicurus, the purpose of philosophy was to attain the happy, tranquil life, characterized by aponia, the absence of pain and fear, and by living a self-sufficient life surrounded by friends. He taught that pleasure and pain are the measures of what is good and bad, that death is the end of the body and the soul and should therefore not be feared, that the gods do not reward or punish humans, that the universe is infinite and eternal, and that events in the world are ultimately based on the motions and interactions of atoms moving in empty space.

   The platypus is a curious creature, with fur like a mammal and a beak like a bird.

(Interestingly, according to Wiki (from whence the above definition was borrowed), the platypus is the epitome of curious. I'd go so far as to say that, as an Australian who has an appreciation for non-conformity, I feel strangely proud... )
