Last night when I got home from playing soccer, I was too keyed up to go right to bed. So I ended up browsing the Internet for a while to unwind.
I was browsing Del.icio.us and found this interesting article on one of the stranger aspects of the English language. Contronyms. Contronyms are words that can mean opposite things based on where or how they are used.
Some of my favorites are:

• screen - show, hide
• consult - ask for advice, give advice
