Black lung disease, lots of coal miners get it if they're not careful. Oh, and oblique's a nice one. :)

Yeah! How'd you know?

But it is caused by volcanic dust- it's a special subtype of silicosis. :D I agree- something so fun about saying oblique. OH-bleek. Oh-BLEEEK. BLEEK BLEEK BLEEK. Kills me every time.

I know, right?

Haha, Bleek. BlEeEeEeEeK!

That's like how in my Photography class, we were cutting apart magazines, looking for pictures, and on the back of one was a logo for 'Ziploc.' Except that the 'Zi' had been cut away, so now it just says 'ploc.' It's a new word, and I LOVE to say it. Ploc, ploc, ploc...
