  quantum bogodynamics
  
     /kwon'tm boh"goh-di:-nam"iks/ A theory that characterises the
     universe in terms of bogon sources (such as politicians,
     used-car salesmen, TV evangelists, and suits in general),
     bogon sinks (such as taxpayers and computers), and bogosity
     potential fields.  Bogon absorption causes human beings to
     behave mindlessly and machines to fail (and may also cause
     both to emit secondary bogons); however, the precise mechanics
     of bogon-computron interaction are not yet understood.
  
     Quantum bogodynamics is most often invoked to explain the
     sharp increase in hardware and software failures in the
     presence of suits; the latter emit bogons, which the former
     absorb.

  quantum bogodynamics
   /kwon'tm boh`goh.di:.nam'iks/, n.
  
     A theory that characterizes the universe in terms of bogon sources
     (such as politicians, used-car salesmen, TV evangelists, and suits
     in general), bogon sinks (such as taxpayers and computers), and
     bogosity potential fields. Bogon absorption, of course, causes human
     beings to behave mindlessly and machines to fail (and may also cause
     both to emit secondary bogons); however, the precise mechanics of the
     bogon-computron interaction are not yet understood and remain to be
     elucidated. Quantum bogodynamics is most often invoked to explain the
     sharp increase in hardware and software failures in the presence of
     suits; the latter emit bogons, which the former absorb. See bogon,
     computron, suit, psyton.
  
     Here is a representative QBD theory: The bogon is a boson (integral
     spin, +1 or -1), and has zero rest mass. In this respect it is very
     much like a photon. However, it has a much greater momentum, thus
     explaining its destructive effect on computer electronics and human
     nervous systems. The corollary to this is that bogons also have
     tremendous inertia, and therefore a bogon beam is deflected only with
     great difficulty. When the bogon encounters its antiparticle, the
     cluon, they mutually annihilate each other, releasing magic smoke.
     Furthermore 1 Lenat = 1 mole (6.022E23) of bogons (see microLenat).
