An asterisk is a star-shaped symbol (*) that marks an omission or footnote within text. It also appears on the keypads of telephones as the "star button", where it is used to trigger special dialing functions.
Literally, an asterisk is a small star, reflecting its origin from Late Latin asteriskus, from Greek asteriskos, the diminutive of aster (star).
Here are more "starry" words from Greek aster: * aster: flower with petals radiating like a star * asterism [n. AS-tuh-riz-um]: starlike shape, cluster of stars * asteriated [adj. a-STEER-ee-ay-tid]: showing asterism * asteroid: planetoid (sun-orbiting body that looks starlike) * disaster: catastrophe, grave misfortune (once thought to be caused by ill-omens from the stars) * astriferous (obsolete) [adj. as-TRIF-er-us]: starry

The last question read, "Old MacDonald had a ________."
Putty Duh was stumped. He had no idea what to answer. But he knew he needed to get this one right to be sure he passed.
Making sure the professor wasn't watching, he tapped Tiny on the shoulder. "Pssst. Tiny. What's the answer to the last question?"
Tiny quietly laughed. He looked around to make sure the professor hadn't noticed, then he turned to Putty Duh. "Putty, you're so stupid. Everyone knows Old MacDonald had a FARM."
"Oh yeah," said Putty Duh. "I remember now."
He picked up his No. 2 pencil and started to write the answer in the blank. He stopped. Tapping Tiny's shoulder again, he whispered, "Tiny, how do you spell farm?"
"You are really dumb, Putty Duh. That's so easy. Farm is spelled E-I-E-I-O."
