What's new on Modern Terminology
- 9 Jan 09/The Beginning of the End
- The website now has 19 official articles, with 4 unwritten articles waiting in the wings! After our twentieth aryticle, the site will be ready and advertised at the bottom of other wikis. Whoopee!!!
- 10 Jan 09/Our First Lawsuit
- The font used in our original title is being replaced with the other font under it. The reason for this is that the font, VTK's Revolt is being copyrighted by author Douglas Vitkaukus. If you have any designs that we could use for the title, upload them and e-mail them to me.

Featured article - Pub science
The slang term for Twenty First Century Science in the early modules, until you realise you've hit P7 and you sh*t yourelf, however it can also be when you get drunk and decide to become more proactive (explosions, riots, etc). Irishmen also study it to try to obtain the secret of good Guiness.
Origins
The term orignates from students studying the GCSE OCR Twenty First Century Science course, the early modules were so basic, badly made and poorly executed (though this depends moreso on teachers), that the name 'Pub Science' was adopted, this trend continued into halfway through the course, though when the later modules arrived the term was promptly dropped. The later modules included things like Neurology (Brain and Mind) and Chemical Synthesis. These are two of six extension topics that do NOT fit into the Pub Science label.
Or so we thought...
Then when we got the sheets for our first of these extension topics, Brain and Mind, I -and many of those around me - actually started to lose IQ points. And some of us dearly need those. The sheets were so patronising, thgey assumed that we did not know that our eyes detect light. And that our ears detect - bet you can't guess - that's right, sound. I bet you are amazed by that 21st century science fact.
Descriptions
"It's the broken tap on the fountain of knowledge"

"It's the blocked pipe in the toilet of science"
"You will suffer a fate worse than death - unlearning"
"Pure unformation"
