"You Won't Believe This One !"

Updated on August 22, 2016

Sometime ago I created a Hub of mine that the sole purpose was to challenge each of the visitors to find a word in the big English dictionary that rhymes with the every day common word orange. Out of all of the countless visitors to date no one so far has come even a little bit close to finding a word that rhymes slightly with orange. There were some real good tries though, and even some good made up words, however in the end no one was able to come up with one single word that rhymed with orange. That is until now. I decided to turn to my friend in real life goody6 (aka; Brain), who finally started a hub after two months of being hub-less. At this new hub he claims and states that he can answer any question that is ask of him, and you might want to think about trying him out some time. After all it's totally free of charge. So the other day I thought I would give him try, and when I saw him, I told him that since he was so smart to see if he could come up with a word that rhymes with orange. And you won't believe this, but he did just that. After goody6 did some extensive and exhausting research he discovered that there is just such a word. It wasn't from the English dictionary though. There was one word he found deep in the archives of the Belgium language. That word is Botrange, and it's the only known word in the entire modern world that rhymes with the good old orange. The Signal de Botrange is the highest point in Belgium. Which is located in the High Fens (Hautes Fagnes in French), at an elevation of 694 meters or 2,277 feet above sea level. It is the top of a broad plateau, and there is a road that crosses the summit. In 1923, the 6 meter high Baltia tower was built on the summit to allow visitors to reach an altitude of 700 meters. A stone tower that was built in 1934 reaches 718 meters in height. You will find the Signal de Botrange located at Latitude: 50° 30' 0" N (deg min sec), 50.5000° (decimal), 5030.00N (LORAN). Longitude: 6° 6' 0" E (deg min sec), 6.1000° (decimal), 00606.00E (LORAN). If you follow these coordinates, then that should take you right to it, and get you there. Now you know that there really is another word that rhymes with orange. So if anybody should ever ask if you know of a word that rhymes with orange, you can tell them sure there is, Mount Botrange which is the highest point in Belgium. Now the next thing on our to do list is to work on finding a word that rhymes with another color, and that is purple. We've been lead to believe that purple is another color in which there isn't a single word out there that rhymes with it. So if you can figure out just one little single word that rhymes with the word purple, then kindly mention it in the comment section below. If not, then they must be right, and this is one word which has no other words that rhymes with it. However as we have just learned that the Belgium word Botrange does in deed rhyme with the English word orange, I guess some different foreign languages will have to be checked into to find out if there's an answer or not as well. And if all else fails, there is always my friend good old goody6 (aka; Brain). Good Luck to all of my fellow Hubbers out there..................................

This would be the color purple
