Darth Ridley's definitions

notpron

A REALLY fucking hard riddle game on the web, created by David Munnchen. As you solve the puzzles, you will learn quite a bit about computers.
As of this writing, I am stuck one Notpron level 21, out of around 186 in total.

masters of the Universe

A vaguely passable show, let down by the terrible animation common to many carttons of that era. The remake is absolutely shit. I mean, they have lasers, so why do they fight with SWORDS?!?!
Hmm, Masters of the Universe is on...might as well watch it, there's nothing else.

metabolism

The sum total of all biochemical reactions that occur in a person's body. Digestion of food is just one aspect of metabolism.

Divided into catabolism, where organic molecules are oxidised and degreaded to prodice energy, and anabolism, where small organic molecules are combined to form larger ones at a cost of energy.
My last biochemistry exam was all about metabolism.
