Word of the Day:

Every morning I receive an email introducing the word of the day. This morning it sparked some thoughts. Today, I got this one:


tontine
noun, an annuity shared by subscribers to a loan or common fund, the shares increasing as subscribers die until the last survivor enjoys the whole income.


What I can't help but wonder is, did the subscribers try to kill off each other...

Update:




I'm starting to loose hope that I'll be able to play floorball this Friday..
