		<description>:smile: &lt;blockquote&gt;Thanks for pushing the my &quot;FunForWords&quot;...onward forever :cool: &lt;blockquote&gt;Lamella is a term for a platelike structure, appearing in multiples, that occurs in various situations, such as biology or materials sciences. It implies a thin layer (Latin), the same derivation as for `laminate&#039;. It can mean:

Lamella (zoology), a structure in an animal 
Lamella (mycology), a structure beneath the cap of a mushroom 
Lamella (materials), a structure within geological, biological, or synthetic materials 
Lamella (cell biology), a sub-cellular structure 
Lamella clarifier, a water treatment process 
Lamellar armour, a medieval type of armour similar to scale armour 
Lamella (soil morphology), an effect of clay illuviation in sandy soils 
Middle lamella, a pectin layer 
&lt;/blockquote&gt; :shock: &lt;/blockquote&gt;[&lt;b&gt;BORED&lt;/b&gt;]   ore [boar] :lol:</description>

		<description>There&#039;s a rare earth metal called holmium, and listening to Beatles records we always thought it would be great if an oxide containing it were called &quot;holmitite&quot;.  (This is what happens when guitar players are also geology geeks.)</description>

		<description>I was racking my brains for something with Mozambique but all I could think of were some oblique remarks about mosquitos. I guess it&#039;s just not ambiqueuous enough to use for puns.  :???:
BTW, I thought Marina hates me because I&#039;m a known associate of an exiled Welsh dragon. :razz:</description>

		<description>Bob, I don&#039;t think it&#039;s you she hates, but the bad puns.  She&#039;s hardly spoken to me since I asked if [eugenics] was the study of Yevtushenko&#039;s poetry.  :lol:</description>
