Geocache Description:

I’m not going to bore you again with my poor self esteem regarding my Cache Karma.  I’ve gotten it up .09 as you can see on my profile page, so something be working.  The purpose of this cache is to increase the number of finds on my caches.  So, I’m throwing my fourth one out in hopes of raising my karma, which has recently risen to a new high of .09 after placing my third Caching Karma Cache!  Hopefully success breeds success.


Like its predecessors, this one is has a distinctive color which makes it stand out when it’s not in its natural environment (the background image shows it in its natural environment).  Again I’ve had a hard time figuring out what to do with this to make it clever and irresistible.  So I decided to take on the age old question of what rhymes with the word orange in English?  So as part of the intellectual part of this cache, here’s some learning.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the only word in English that rhymes with orange is “sporange” which is a very rare alternative form of sporangium (a botanical term for a part of a fern or similar plant).

 

But on the other hand Eminem claims that if pronounced correctly the words in italics rhyme with orange:

“I put my orangefour-inch door-hinge in storage and ate porridge with George”
