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.

Macaulayite: Unique mineral ((Fe3+,Al)24Si4O43OH2) that is currently found only in Aberdeenshire (Bennachie) and - possibly - Mars. May provide 'proof' for sustainability of life on Mars. May also explain red color of Martian geology (areology).
