 The question from

> everyone is "What *is* an anglepoise lamp?" I've been asked so many times



this is so funny, because i was just reading a.s. byatt's novel

_possession_ and i came across the word "anglepoise" and looked it

up in my british and american dictionaries, but couldn't find it

anywhere!



the mystery continues!
