No doubt, many of you have been working your brains to the bone trying to solve this problem.
However, Pelletrine has fooled us a little with this word, �humeroradioulnar�, because she has given us the alternative spelling.
Some of you have purchased the lexicon: �Spelling Schmelling --- an Annotation of Frequently Misunderstood Words and Phrases in the English Language�, by Professeur Fran�ois-Ren� Fin de la Semaine, of L �Universit� de London. I was privileged to become a great personal friend of the writer, or Francoise-Reenee, as I used to call her.
She explained to me that the correct spelling makes reference to the German city of �Ulm�, (not �Uln�). Ulm is in Germany. The Germans like VERY long words.
Consequently, after a few sound-shifts, the more CORRECT spelling is: �ComedyOnWirelessOfUlm�.
(During the Pedants� Revolt, some French people wanted to alter �Radio� to �Poste de Transfusion Sans Fils�, but this was resisted at the barricades.)
I must warn you that, despite the title, there is very little comedy on the radio of Ulm, (apart from the Financial News). This is also because most people watch �Mister Bean� on TV, thinking that it is a Gardening Documentary. (Incidentally, did you know that Rowan Atkinson was once inadvertently awarded the Nobel Peas Prize?)
Moreover, Ulm is primarily known for having the church with the tallest steeple in the world, and as the birthplace of Albert Einstein, in that order.
So far as I know, there aren�t any pointless jokes about Albert Einstein climbing this steeple. Why is that? Because EVERY steeple HAS a point, and I hope that I have made it!
However, Einstein did pose the question: �Why, when I tell my wife that there are a billion stars in the Universe, she believes me; but when I tell her that the newly-painted door is still wet, she always checks?�
And I have a baffling Space-Time-Relativity Question for this Modern Age, which no-one can satisfactorily answer.
�Why can a Pizza Boy get to my house quicker than a Policeman can get there?�
