Still kinda crazy, but aside from that, stray conversation.

Whitney says, "Also, I have used the word 'ontology' or derivatives thereof more in the last three days than I think I have in my entire *life* previous."
Brooks [brooksmoses] unidles, wonders when Whitney will recapitulate phylogeny.
Whitney says, "That would be ontogeny."
Brooks says, "Yes, but you would be surprised how many pages have it "ontology" when I wnet to check on Google to make sure I was remembering it right."
Whitney says, "And while my theology considers log- and gen- to be equivalent roots ... ;)"
Brooks snerks.
Brooks says, "Ah, indeed. What ontology recapitulates is philology. (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Ontology)"
Whitney says, "... indeed."
