| 500501 | 2006-11-19 21:14:00 | I'm not sure if this has been posted before or not, but it deserves another outing even if it has . Here is the Washington Post's Mensa Invitational which once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition . The 2005 winners are: 1 . Cashtration (n . ): The act of buying (or building) a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time . 2 . Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an ******* . 3 Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize that it was your money to start with . 4 . Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a Hillbilly . 5 . Bozone (n . ): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating . The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future . 6 . Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid . 7 . Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high . 8 . Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it . 9 . Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late . 10 . Hipatitis: Terminal coolness . 11 . Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease . (This one got extra credit . ) 12 . Karmageddon: It's when everybody is sending out like, all these really bad vibes, and then, like, the Earth just explodes man and it's, like, a serious bummer . 13 . Decafalon (n . ): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you 14 . Glibido: All talk and no action . 15 . Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly . 16 . Arachnoleptic fit (n . ): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web . 17 . Beelzebug (n . ): Satan in the form of a mosquito that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out . 18 .

| 500502 | 2006-11-19 23:07:00 | KNOWLEDGE PILLS A somewhat advanced society has figured how to package basic knowledge in pill form. A student, needing some learning, goes to the pharmacy and asks what kind of knowledge pills are available. The pharmacist says, "Here's a pill for English literature." The student takes the pill and swallows it and has new knowledge about English literature! "What else do you have?" asks the student. "Well, I have pills for art history, biology, and world history," replies the pharmacist. The student asks for these and swallows them and has new knowledge on those subjects. Then the student asks, "Do you have a pill for calculus?" The pharmacist says, "Wait just a moment," goes back into the storeroom, brings back a whopper of a pill, and plunks it on the counter. "I have to take that huge pill for calculus?" inquires the student. The pharmacist replied, "Well, you know calculus always was a little hard to swallow." |
