Editor’s Note: A couple of weeks ago, I read an article about pescetarians (vegetarians who like fish – I didn’t even realize I was a pescetarian!). I was sick at the time and bored (and I’ve always liked word games), so I started making random words using the letters in the word pescetarianism. I got up to 104 – see if you can beat me!
