Word of the Day: Hirsute, (HER-soot) adjective, is a formal word that means “hairy.” It is also often used in humorous contexts to describe someone with a lot of hair on their face or body. Turner wore a hirsute mask as part of his werewolf costume for the school play. This day in history: 1947 The Hughes Flying Boat—at one time the largest aircraft ever built—is piloted by designer Howard Hughes on its first and only flight. Built with laminated birch and spruce (hence the nickname the Spruce Goose) the massive wooden aircraft had a wingspan longer than a football field and was designed to carry more than 700 men to battle. Howard Hughes was a successful Hollywood movie producer when he founded the Hughes Aircraft Company in 1932. He personally tested cutting-edge aircraft of his own design and in 1937 broke the transcontinental flight-time record. In 1938, he flew around the world in a record three days, 19 hours, and 14 minutes.
