>>>And the youngest one just had an assignment for her chemistry class to do some chemical process at home, and make a video of it, so she donned the yellow rubber gloves and, under mom's supervision, made another batch. When I put the video together, I named the file "soap opus.avi". She actually didn't know that "opera" was plural of "opus", so I had to slip that bit of information in an en passant manner, during an unrelated talk. And then the pun worked, when she saw the filename again :).

I realized that after posting. Either way, I didn't know the words were related. They aren't used the same way (AFAIK) so I bet a lot of people don't know it.
