	trying to think of a word Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

The word I am trying to think of(to be honest I only ever see that word here), is used (I think) when trying to describe something that is obvious like "Racism is bad" Well that’s a bit of a *word goes here*. The word sounds something like 'Nomaner, or Nonamer... All I know is when I see it I think 'No namer' but all together.

Anyways just ignore this if it sounds stupid or I have no idea what I am talking about

Well, "misnomer" sounds like the word you mean when you say "nonamer" or "nomaner", but it wouldn't fit with the context.

"Misnomer" isn't the word you're looking for. Defined as "a wrong name : an incorrect designation or term."

Can anyone use the words; pancreatic, syzygy, phantasmagoria and inexorable in the same sentence?

The inexorable and pancreatic syzygy is suffering from phantasmagoria.

(What is a syzygy?)

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

As far as I understand the term it's when three celestial bodies ( usually a sun, a moon and a planet though I don't know if it has to be this way ) line up in a straight line ( probably when viewed from above. Orbits are rarely perfect ).

Obviously it's usually used when talking about Sol, the Earth and Luna.

Uh... the challenge comes from WP Kinsella ( the guy who wrote the exceeding good novel Shoeless Joe, inspired by baseball and Catcher in the Rye and made into the Costner movie Field of Dreams ) who said;

"Syzygy, inexorable, pancreatic, phantasmagoria -- anyone who can use those four words in one sentence will never have to do manual labor."

So far my best attempt was

"The inexorable truth is that for some reason my pancreatic cancer lets me see this weird phantasmagoria; seeing seething reptiles on a pink furry moon at syzygy with a disapproving sun."

which presumably means I can look forward to a lifetime down the mines....
