I looked up encephalitis, to figure out what the thing was in the latest Penny Arcade comic, and I found 4 definitions. The last two it doesn't show you though, do to a government cover up.
http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=encephalitis

Encephalitis is defined as the inflammation of the brain. My brain is on fire! pengy.gif Smart people get that a lot, since we always overclock our internal systems.

They also tell you the definition of Saint Louis encephalitis which is a North American encephalitis that is caused by a single-stranded RNA virus (genus Flavivirus of the family Flaviviridae) transmitted by several culex mosquitoes. Yep. It was the mosquitos set someone's brain on fire... or so the government wants you to think.

Apparently horses get swelled brain disease as well from mosquitos, or being bit by other horses. Vampire horses, of course. Or perhaps just some turned mad by mad cow disease cow_tiny.gif which affects horses to I'm certain, but people can't handle more than one name, and I don't have any dancing horses anyway. Its mad I tell you! Dancing cow emotes/smilies rule! cow_tiny.gif Seriously now. They grind up the parts they can't use of dead animals and feed it to other animals. So perhaps some creatures develop a taste for meat, and go about biting one another, and that spreads the disease. I don't think grazing animals can take a chunk of meat out of each other, since their teeth aren't made for it, but you know that doesn't stop them from trying. They are mad after all.

For all we know the media could've stopped wide spread panic by covering up the truth about mad cows disease. They might've developed some retrovirus to make animals smartered, tested it on cows, and they got all vengeful on us, and decided to jump above us on the food chain. Thats right folks! Man eating cows run rampart across England. Serious gun control laws to blame for it. I mean, you see a cow trying to take a bite out of someone, or even looking at them the wrong way over here in America, you know its going to get shot up by someone, and turned into a barbeque, with a redneck somewhere mounting its head on display exaggerating his great battle with it.

"Nearly took my pappy's head off. Horrible mess. We treat our livestock just fine, until they fat enough to be eaten, and look how they done turned on us. My cousin even has a cow for a girlfriend."
"I thought it was a goat."
"No, that goat kept snapping at him, and eating his clothing. He said he liked the big women anyway, so a cow was just fine."

Seriously. That happens, and is the only justifiable reason to stop eating meat. That doesn't mean to become a vegetable eat of course. Yucky! Just live entirely off of junkfood made by a trillion and one artificial manmade chemicals, none of which you know anything about. Delicious!

----

West Nile virus is probably the same thing is that last entry. Virus is just easier to say. People died from that around here, so I have no jokes about it. Or maybe they just blame it on that virus, to cover up cows trampling people to death and eating them. You never can tell.

I see. Now you have a million words again, instead of just half a million. Yeah, makes sense, since there are a least half a million names to call someone who leeches off the welfare system. sleep.gif Thats what bogan means by the way. Or how the Austrialians use the word. One of those upside down people(America is on top of the world, so we decide what side is the top of the globe by the way) over at my Game Maker's forum mentioned that.

I can not believe they are denying me the ability to figure out the punchline of the latest Questionable Content comic.

...
Actually, I just googled it, and found out what it meant. Perhaps I was better off not knowing.

Priapism is the occurrence of any persistent erection for more than four hours duration in the absence of sexual stimulation.

Found yet another one. That word was used in today's Sluggy Freelance webcomic so I looked it up.

Had to then google it, and apparently its found in breast cancer! Those bastards at webster don't want us finding out about that! Probably had something to do with it... a conspiracy of flat chested women to give everyone with a nice rack cancer, so they'd have to have their breast cut off. Is there no limit to your jealous rage?

QUOTE

Plastins (fimbrins) are a family of three tissue-specific actin-binding proteins.

Anyway, its some organic thing, which is what the time boat is made out of apparently.

Strangely enough thought, it does have synergy

Main Entry: syn·er·gy
Pronunciation: 'si-n&r-jE
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -gies
Etymology: New Latin synergia, from Greek synergos working together
1 : SYNERGISM; broadly : combined action or operation
2 : a mutually advantageous conjunction or compatibility of distinct business participants or elements (as resources or efforts) 


Aye matey! If it be the simple version, you get thats for free. But if you want the big fancy version, well now, that'll be costing you plenty.

I don't have a smilie of a pirate, so I guess I'll have to use the monkey instead. mfight.gif I'm sure he is a pirate in real life.

Made a lame joke over at my Game Maker's forum about that. Since no one comes here, I'll just link there. http://s8.invisionfree.com/Game_Maker_foru...0&#entry9704766

Why yes, we know the world, and we found one entry for it, but no, you can't see it.

I did notice they stop bragging about how many words they had in their dictionary, probably because that other major dictionary, whose name I don't recall right now, Oxford I think... hmm.. anyway, because it had more. Of course, it added bootylecious and other nonsense to its book to fill pages.

Something to do with female bar tenders, or coffee servers I think. Googled it and came up with stuff like that. I bet the Websters people weren't too sure about the definition either, which is why they are giving me such a hard time about defining it.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rooves

Microsoft Works Word Processor had its spell checker in years past correct roofs as rooves. Now its the other way around, "rooves" not recognized at all, and "roofs" is the proper expression.

To help hide their past shame, they got the dictionary people to seal off information from the general public. Or maybe its just an odd coincidence.

My old computer was bought in January of 2002, had Windows XP on it, and that's the version of Works I once used. Or maybe it was that other word processor they had. Whatever.

I'm using Vista now, version 8.5 of Microsoft Works Word Processor.

I always thought that "rooves" looked stupid, but the word processor's spellchecker said it was fine back then, so I accepted it as fact. Not like I could've looked it up anyway, since Webster was the only online dictionary for years, and as you can see, they hide that word from everyone.

Wow. There are 200,000 words their dictionary doesn't have. Of course, there are other free access dictionaries online. Who would pay for something they can just look around and get for free?
