Like I'm sure many of you do, I subscribe to A Word A Day; in one of the most recent compendiums, I spotted this: "From: Gene Wolfe (genewlfATaol.com) Subject: Re: A.Word.A.Day--anabiosis Refer: http://wordsmith.org/words/anabiosis.html Goldfish are routinely frozen in blocks of ice for shipment. A few die, but most survive. This has been a common practice for many years." Is this the Wolfe, or is there another with an equal interest in occult words? ~maru pondering forbidden knowledge.

Rather than coincidence, I suspect a Wolfe fan who took that address because s/he is a Wolfe fan, and shares his interest in rare and unusual words.
