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.

Female Gigantism

Female Gigantism: Do you need a thesis for a biology dissertation? How about the (combined) topics of female gigantism? Observe the recently discovered orb weaver: Nephila komaci - for one instance of this interesting occurence in nature. Instances in biological species where the female is gigantic in comparison to the male.
