Word of the Day
Schizogonic
And in case you're wondering what schizogony is.
For example, in discussing today's disease of the day, malaria:
The life cycle of all species of human malaria parasites is essentially the same. It comprises an exogenous sexual phase (sporogony) with multiplication in certain Anopheles mosquitoes and an endogenous asexual phase (schizogony) with multiplication in the vertebrate host.
The latter phase includes the development cycle in the red cells (erythrocytic schizogony) and the phase taking place in the parenchyma cells in the liver (pre-erythrocytic schizogony). (www.btinternet.com)
In other news, I took great pride this weekend at the DC pride festival in booing city council member Carol Schwartz as she rode down 17th St. in her yellow mustang convertible. This is the same convertible that you can find illegally parked all over Washington, DC (since council members don't pay parking tickets thanks to Schwartz). Often times you will also find her dog's unscooped dookie doo next to the passenger side door. I'm beginning to think that her ideas stem from her schizogonic cycle of stupidity.
