5. And there came a little man in a magic pie and he said
"From now on, you are Bloggers with a B." And the bloggers said "Thank you Mr. Man"

Actually I used to know the answer to this but i can't remember it now.

If you have a blogspot blog the spell checker doesn't recognize the word blog and always wants to change it to bloc.

7. Say web log really fast
= blog.
Bound to be included in the next dictionary.

Ain't a living language grand? Changes and grows all the time.
