Of all the pointless threads I've ever started in off-topic, I may be starting the real winner.

So the rule states: "'I' before 'E' except after 'C,' and words that sound 'A' as in neighbor and weigh."  This has actually helped me many times, but even this is still untrue in many cases.  I've been wondering what words are actually 'E' before 'I' in spite of being pronounced in some other way and not following a 'C'.  It'd be fun to list them all.  Please name only one per post.  I'll start.
