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.“

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!”

ichthyoallyeinotoxism

Ichthyoallyeinotoxism, or hallucinogenic fish inebriation, comes from eating certain species of fish found in several parts of the tropics, the effects of which are reputed to be similar in some aspects to LSD.

In 2006, two men who ate fish, apparently the Sarpa salpa caught in the Mediterranean were affected by ichthyoallyeinotoxism and experienced hallucinations lasting for several days.

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.

Meow! Polo!

Meow! Polo! - this is an adorable and friendly game that can be played between a cat and it’s human. Very similar to the participation in the Marco Polo threshold, but since a cat can’t say, “Marco!”, “Meow!” will have to suffice. In response to the “Meow!”, (Marco) from the cat, it’s human should then say, “Polo!” The game ends when the losing opponent stops responding in return.

I decided to start a game of Meow! Polo! when my cat Snee - Ki, started to have a separation/anxiety attack when she couldn’t find me. In response to her exclaiming “Meow!, I would then answer back by saying,”Polo!”

meta-ethics

Meta-ethics is the branch of ethics that seeks to understand the nature of ethical properties, statements, attitudes, and judgments. Meta-ethics is one of the three branches of ethics generally studied by philosophers, the others being normative ethics and applied ethics.

There are three kinds of meta-ethics problems, or three general questions:

1) What is the meaning of moral terms or judgments? (moral semantics)
2) What is the nature of moral judgments? (moral ontology)
3) How may moral judgments be supported or defended? (moral epistemology) A question of the first type might be, "What do the words 'good', 'bad', 'right' and 'wrong' mean?" The second category includes questions of whether moral judgments are universal or relative, of one kind or many kinds, etc. Questions of the third kind ask, for example, how we can know if something is right or wrong, if at all.
