droste effect

The droste effect is the effect of a picture recursively appearing within itself, in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. And while the appearance may be recursive, the smaller version contains an even smaller version of the picture, and so on. Only in theory could this go on forever, as fractals can sometimes do; practically, it continues only as long as the resolution of the picture allows, which is relatively short, since each iteration geometrically reduces the picture's size.

strange loop

A strange loop is a cyclic structure that goes through several levels in a hierarchical system. It arises when, by moving only upwards or downwards through the system, one finds oneself back where one started. A strange loop is a hierarchy of levels, each of which is linked to at least one other by some type of relationship. A strange loop hierarchy is "tangled" in that there is no well defined highest or lowest level; moving through the levels, one eventually returns to the starting point, i.e., the original level. Strange loops may involve self reference or paradox.

“An example of a strange loop would be the Canon 5. a 2 from Bach's Musical Offering, which is a musical piece that continues to rise in key, modulating through the entire chromatic scale until it ends in the same key in which it began.“

Walking Dead Zone

A Walking Dead Zone is an area for people with mobile phones who are currently experiencing the inconvenience of not being able to transmit to a nearby mobile site, base station, or any other similar Wi-Fi points of access. In these areas, the mobile phone is said to be in a state of outage. Walking Dead Zones is usually where Wi-Fi service is not available because the signal between the handset and mobile site antennas is blocked or severely reduced, usually by hilly terrain, spooky graveyards, dense foliage, physical distance, or interference from the Talking Dead. This will cause most mobile phone users who have no means of transportation to keep “walking “ until they are finally within range of a verifiable signal. Some of these Talking Dead who are traversing the Walking Dead Zones, have been known to utter out incoherent ramblings, such as, “Out of range!” “Out of range!”

Kelly: “Where’d Derek go, Brandon?”
Brandon: “Him and a few of his friends are in a Walking Dead Zone, somewhere between here and the abandoned church.

Kelly: “Well, he better hurry up and get back here in time for The Walking Dead ‘else I’m gonna start watching The Jerry Springer Show, I’m a telling you what!”

knights tour

A knight's tour is a sequence of moves of a knight on a chessboard such that the knight visits every square only once. If the knight ends on a square that is one knight's move from the beginning square (so that it could tour the board again immediately, following the same path), the tour is closed, otherwise it is open. A knight's tour problem is the mathematical problem of finding a knight's tour. Creating a program to find a knight's tour is a common problem given to computer science students. Variations of the knight's tour problem involve chessboards of different sizes than the usual 8 × 8, as well as irregular (non-rectangular) board.

While Brandon was on vacation, he steadily began to master the game theory involving chess. But when he was introduced to the knights tour, he realized this new level of expertise had more involvement than anything he encountered before.

meldrop

A meldrop is a drop of mucus at the end of the nose, whether produced by cold weather, sickness, or otherwise.

As if having just acquiring these blasted chilblains wasn’t bad enough, I now had to take care of this disdaining flow of meldrops.

surprise inspector

A surprise inspector is the name of a prank which involves 2 or more people who have been detained in separate police vehicles. In order to set the prank up, one person who knows that everything in a police vehicle is being recorded, will speak loudly of their friends attempt to hide drugs or drug paraphernalia, (even though they really didn’t) within his or her own anal cavity. The prank is completed after the cavity search has taken place.

While Derek and Bobby were being detained in separate police cars, Derek said, “Those dumb pigs will never figure out that Bobby hid that tiny bit of tar heroin up his ass! A few hours later... Bobby: “Why you smiling, Derek?” Derek: “I heard you got a visit from the surprise inspector!” Bobby: “I’m gonna F’n kill you Derek!”
