ABOUT THE NOLO
Everyone knows that the name NOLO is short for NOLOMUS. But not everyone knows that the name is both singular and plural, referring to individuals (e.g. see the NOLO play) and to groups (e.g. see the NOLO play). NOLO is always written with all capital letters, unlike basically everything else. Why? Because they are SO huge. All NOLO are enormous. Males are generally bigger than females. Toddlers are 40 feet tall and weigh a little over 4 tons. Old timers run over 80 feet high and weigh over 80,000 pounds (40 tons). They smell nice.
