A dictionary/glossary/lexicon as sort of a cosmic, meeting of the minds, collaboration of the likes of Dan Webster, Sam Johnson, Ambrose Bierce, Hunter S. Thompson, Wm. F. Buckley, Grouch Marx, W. C. Fields and many more... even though its editors are obscure unknowns with dreadfully dangerous senses of humor.

Asteroid Tagging

Asteroid Tagging: Not a new term, but with new implications due to the Sulawesi (City of Bone) asteroid impactor event of October 8, 2009. Look, this could have been worse than the Tsunami of 2004... The Jakarta Globe reported at least one death (a nine year child died of cardiac arrest upon hearing the explosion...reportedly...).
