The Colbert Wind Turbine

The wind turbine at Key West High School that was named after Stephen Colbert. The naming was passed by unanimous vote from the Monroe County School Board after being proposed by Heindrek A., a senior at the school.

The turbine is part of the school's alternative energy program and is the southernmost turbine in the US. Both the turbine and the naming of the turbine have received national attention including a grant from HP, being covered on BusinessWeek.com, and other blogs, papers, etc. However, at this time, Stephen Colbert has not successfully been contacted about appearing at the 03/20/10 ribbon cutting ceremony.

Turbined

(v) - Taking a seven year old music system and revamping it in such a way that it breaks the volume balance between instruments, breaks the sound quality of individual instruments and renders the ability to play large ensemble pieces largely impossible.

To be Turbined is to have your transcribed songs *trashed* due to someone's bright idea to release half-assed code into the live game you are still wacky enough to pay for.

Turbined - the best way to kill a game.
"They Turbined the music system even though we begged them not to release this crap into live gameplay!"

"The devs Turbined themselves when they released a brokeass music system, evidenced by how many players have decided to leave."

"When the musicians were Turbined, a lot of them cancelled their VIP subscriptions."

Wind Turbine Syndrome

Rich people distressing that their view has been ruined.
"Ever since they put the new windmill in, the view from the veranda has just not been the same. I fear I'll have to cancel the wine tasting, lest the ladies come down with Wind Turbine Syndrome."

Turbine

I'm sorry, I'm sick of nobody knowing anything. A turbine is a rotary device which converts kinetic fluid energy into mechanical energy. This INCLUDES windmills, also known as WIND TURBINES. A moving fluid (steam, air, water, oil, gas) strikes the blades of a turbine which are mounted on a common shaft and causes the shaft to turn. A turbine can be the Francis wheel of a dam's power station, it can be the rotor of a "windmill" at Altamont Pass, it can be the exhaust-driven wheel in your car's turbocharger which spins the compressor, it can be part of a jet engine. Your car's automatic transmission has a turbine in it; the impeller in the torque converter driven by the engine forces oil against the blades of a turbine, causing it to turn and driving the rest of the car's driveline.
Windmills aren't turbines! I'm a sidewalk drunk.
