Quote of the Day: "I hate books; they only teach us to talk about things we know nothing about." — Jean-Jacques Rousseau (06/28/1712 – 07/02/1778), French writer, philosopher, political theorist.

Word of the Day: cakewalk \KEYK-wawk\, noun: 1. Something easily accomplished. 2. A 19th-century African-American tradition in which walkers performing the most accomplished or amusing steps won cakes as prizes. 3. The music that accompanies such a competition.

In context: “Though it may be baffling to consider, watching you grow up isn't necessarily a cakewalk for your parents.” — Melissa Kirsch, The Girl's Guide to Absolutely Everything.

(The origin of cakewalk lies in the 19th century African-American tradition where a cake was given as a prize for the fanciest steps in a procession. The phrases "piece of cake" and "take the cake" may derive from the cakewalk.)
