娱乐性解释：
n. A person who pervades the domain of intellectual speculation and diffuses himself through the channels of moral activity. He is omnific omniform omnipercipient omniscient omnipotent. He it was who invented letters printing the railroad the steamboat the telegraph the platitude and the circle of the sciences. He created patriotism and taught the nations war—founded theology philosophy law medicine and Chicago. He established monarchical and republican government. He is from everlasting to everlasting—such as creation's dawn beheld he fooleth now. In the morning of time he sang upon primitive hills and in the noonday of existence headed the procession of being. His grandmotherly hand was warmly tucked-in the set sun of civilization and in the twilight he prepares Man's evening meal of milk-and-morality and turns down the covers of the universal grave. And after the rest of us shall have retired for the night of eternal oblivion he will sit up to write a history of human civilization.
