Tuesday 29 June 2004 — This is more than 20 years old. Be careful.
Today’s word of the day is verruca:
- verruca
- n : (pathology) a firm abnormal elevated blemish on the skin; caused by a virus [syn: wart]
I’ve long been a fan of the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and this brings whole new nuances of meaning to the character Veruca Salt.
I’ve written before about the 1971 film version. The new movie is in production, with Johnny Depp as Wonka and Tim Burton directing. It should be a heck of a ride.
