mangle

1. A large industrial ironing machine that dry presses and folds flatwork or a small laundry wringer for domestic use.

2. To become horribly twisted and crushed or dismembered.

The word mangle was coined in the early 20th century after many of the first industrial ironers had crushed and dismembered those who got to close to the feeder end or chain drives of the machines.

"Ted lost part of an arm when he foolishly reached beyond the safety bar of the mangle to adjust a wrinkle in a bed sheet."

architeuthis dux

The giant squid. The second largest species of squid known to man. The giant squid can reach lengths greater than 50 feet and has the largest eyeball in the animal kingdom. It is thought by many marine biologists to battle with and maybe even prey on sperm whales. Unlike most squid the architeuthis dux has serrated suckers on the clubs of it's two longest tentacles which are most likely used for catching and holding prey. The giant squid is one of the earliest and most terrifying examples of the fabled sea monsters that destroyed and sunk ships hundreds of years ago and is widely considered to be the same monster known as the kraken.

"The young couple's blood curdling screams could be heard from the pier as the hungry architeuthis dux destroyed their little yacht and pulled them toward it's gnashing beak!"

Sidearms

A coin-op game released by Capcom/Romstar in 1986. The full title was Sidearms Hyperdyne in the U.S. and Hyperdyne Sidearms in Japan. Sidearms was a very underated and somewhat rare shooter/shmup with a Robo-Tech type theme. The game featured both 1 and 2 player simultaneous action, horizontal and vertical scrolling, several stages ranging from moderate to downright difficult, challenging and sometimes huge bosses, a special power-up that unlocked a dual mecha transformation and other bonus features. The game was ported mostly to computers such as the Atari ST, and Commodore 64 as well as the PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16 and also Sony's PSP in a Capcom compilation. Sidearms was the second game in a series known as "Jetpack Hero" which started with Section-Z and ended with Forgotten Worlds. They are related only in that they have a similar layout and gameplay; each game in the series has it's own storyline.

"I can't believe how accurate this port of Sidearms is and the sound is better than the arcade verion!!"
