Get the scientifical mug.adj. Magic-like properties explained through scientific means; an explanation for a claim to properties that defy common sense, in the absence of proof.
Scrubbing Bubbles' claim to "continue cleaning for up to four days" is a little too scientifical to be believed.
When it comes to advertising, science is the new magic. Everything is scientifical!

Get the Scientifical mug.Official Definition: "The Ghostifferator™ lets you contact the spirit world like you wanna contact it. A flik of th' switch lets ya change the who the where an the when instanlty. Now I dont garuntee that y'ull talk to anybody, speshul, but like how many dead folks is there? Like Hunderds, so you got a good chance a gettin somebody on the line purty quick."
A device that a guy named Leroy designed, built, and put up on Ebay for auction.
He claims the 'Scientifical Ghostifferator' may (or may not) allow the user to 'contact the dead'.
Leory is also somewhat infamous on Ebay due to his "Lucifer's Hotpocket" auction from December of 2004, which was almost as famous as the Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese.
Part of his schtick is intentional bad spelling, made up words, and really bad grammar. But, none of that seems to matter, because he has quite a following, and people bid on and purchase his obscure scam-type pieces.

Get the Scientifical Ghostifferator mug.Contrary to popular belief, when scientists use the word "theory", they are not referring to conjectures that they have pulled out of thin air and have no data to support such claims. The scientific use of the word "theory" is much different than the colloquial use.
In science, a theory refers to an integrated set of principles that explain and predict events that are observed in the natural world. Theories, in the scientific sense, summarize and explain facts, and imply testable predictions that allow for the falsification of the theory. Theory is vital to scientific endeavour, as it generates hypotheses to be tested, gives direction to research (and even suggests new areas for research), and, if the theory is good, has a high amount of explanatory power without requiring extensive modification to the theory. Theory without data is just conjecture, but data without a theoretical explanation is as good as meaningless to scientific practice.

An example of a scientific theory that is often mistaken as just a "theory" is the theory of evolution. Contrary to common misconceptions, evolutionary biology is one of the most prolific fields in science, with hundreds of thousands of peer-reviewed papers attesting to the theory's veracity, and an ever-increasing body of research.
Other examples include general relativity (yes, gravity is technically "only" a theory), special relativity, atomic theory (yes, atoms are "only" a theory too), and germ theory (the theory that small microscopic organisms are the cause of many illnesses).
