millilampson
(foldoc) | milliLampson
/mil'*-lamp"sn/ A unit of talking speed, abbreviated mL. Most
people run about 200 milliLampsons. The eponymous Butler
Lampson (a CS theorist and systems implementor highly regarded
among hackers) goes at 1000. A few people speak faster. This
unit is sometimes used to compare the (sometimes widely
disparate) rates at which people can generate ideas and
actually emit them in speech. For example, noted computer
architect C. Gordon Bell (designer of the PDP-11) is said,
with some awe, to think at about 1200 mL but only talk at
about 300; he is frequently reduced to fragments of sentences
as his mouth tries to keep up with his speeding brain.

ECLAMPSIA PARTURIENTIUM
(bouvier) | ECLAMPSIA PARTURIENTIUM, med. jur. The name of a disease accompanied by
apoplectic convulsions, and which produces aberration of mind at childbirth.
The word Eclampsia is of Greek origin - Significat splenaorem fulgorem
effulgentiam, et emicationem quales ex oculis aliquando prodeunt.
Metaphorice sumitur de emicatione flammae vitalis in pubertate et aetaeis
vigore. Castelli, Lex. Medic.
2. An ordinary person, it is said, would scarcely observe it, and it
requires the practised and skilled eye of a physician to discover that the
patient is acting in total unconsciousness of the nature and effect of her
acts. There can be but little doubt that many of the tragical cases of
infanticide proceed from this cause. The criminal judge and lawyer cannot
inquire with too much care into the symptoms of this disease, in order to
discover the guilt of the mother, where it exists, and to ascertain her
innocence, where it does not. See two well reported cases of this kind in
the Boston Medical Journal, vol. 27, No. 10, p. 161.
