Resolutionarium

Resolutionarium (res-o-lu-tion-ar-i-um) Noun

As a noun, it encapsulates more than just a physical location; it's the crucible of your personal evolution, a sanctuary for the world's Resolutionaries.

A resolutionarium is a sacred space that invites introspection and stirs the soul. It's a fortress of solitude for reading, writing, reflecting, and contemplating. But it's also a launchpad for inspired action, a place where thought meets deed, and dreams start their journey towards reality.

The resolutionarium is not just a location; it's an experience. It embodies the transformative power of resolutions and the indomitable human spirit that seeks continuous self-improvement.
Example:

"I'm heading to the Museum of Art History or MAH, in Santa Cruz, to immerse myself in the world's first resolutionarium. The aura of the place whispers of infinite possibilities and a thousand journeys embarked upon.

The star attraction? The trailblazing resolutionary, "Resolved To Evolve Vol. 3", a collection brimming with 845 universal resolves. This treasure of wisdom, taking inspiration from the legendary TV show, "Kung Fu", is a testament to our shared quest for evolution and betterment.

A visit to the resolutionarium is not just a walk through an exhibit; it's an encounter with the potential that lies within each of us. It's an inspiring reminder that every day brings a new opportunity to write a fresh chapter in the story of our lives. Come, explore, and leave as a new version of yourself - evolved, inspired, and resolved to shape your destiny."

Someday there will be a resolutionarium in every city, and a resolutionary in every home. As lessons are learned, and resolves added, the family resolutionary will grow and evolve with each person, over the course of generations.

The human family is resolved to evolve. Be the one to start your families resolutionary, and visit and contribute your resolves the the worlds resolutionariums.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
