Not-So-Deep Thoughts: Cactus

You ever notice that if you type a word often enough, it starts to look weird? Like "cactus." It's got that "cac" in the beginning like someone gagging. "Cack! Cack!" And then there's "tus." Which is just weird all by itself. Put them together and it makes you wonder why someone saw those spiny things and decided to call them "cactus."

Weird yes. I'm sure theres a long complicated explanation but who cares? Even worse is to stare at a word long enough and start wondering if its spelled right. Catcus? Cactuus?
