Term of the day.

Occam's razor \AH-kumz-RAY-zer\ noun

-- a scientific and philosophic rule that entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily which is interpreted as requiring that the simplest of competing theories be preferred to the more complex or that explanations of unknown phenomena be sought first in terms of known quantities.

Got it?

My first impulse was to write a song about irony without mentioning anything that is actually ironic. But apparently that's been done before.

I do so very much hope that that was indeed the intention. Because if not, then it's nothing short of an epic fail.
