God

A word that some Earthlings use to refer to a magical man who judges everyone at some point in the future, who might have a son, and who might be an elephant. This man is somewhat of a wizard, using his magical powers to kill bad Earthlings while they’re alive, or burn them for a long time if they die. The wizard lives in a place called Heaven, which is somewhere in the clouds—or, if you believe meterologists and NASA scientists, *not* in the clouds, but still somehow above us, possibly in another dimension, or something similar. This is just one aspect of the wizard’s magic. Earthlings who like this wizard object to other Earthlings calling him magical, preferring the term ‘divine’. They have been known to invade Jerusalem when people get some of the minor details about him wrong.

Steve believed in God the wizard, but not very much, as he had never invaded Jerusalem.

bullet time

A form of ultra-slow motion mostly based on the principle that motion and time can be seperated. Named for the fact that you can see a bullet frozen in bullet time. Developed by John Gatea and Bill Pope for the Matrix film trilogy.

Wanna know what would make dodgeball awesome? If I had bullet time! But then I'd probably steal someone's wallet in midair and fly away.

butterfly effect

The scientific theory that a single occurence, no matter how small, can change the course of the universe forever.

1. A man travelled back in time to prehistoric ages and stepped on a butterfly, and the universe was entirely different when he got back.

2. The flap of a butterfly's wings changed the air around it so much that a tornado broke out two continents away.
