100. Centiloquium
Manage episode 428982079 series 3531545
It’s the 100th episode of Butter No Parsnips and what better way to celebrate than poring over the sacred Lexiconicon while Seth has his back turned. And that’s just what Emily and Kyle did when, in the middle of their secretive studies, they found the notably numerable word ‘centiloquium.’
In order to get his ancient text back, Seth must first learn all of that which Kyle and Emily discovered while delving deep into the tome. The trio discover that no one from Ptolemy to Trismegistus wants to write down a hundred of anything. They also revel in the mysteries of the stars as horoscopes find a friend in something a little more timely called ‘horary’.
After all is said and done, all that’s important is that you don’t trust anyone peddling Occam’s centiloquy, especially “that juggling Wizard and Imposter” William Lilly. Take an astrological trip with these wordnik weirdos for the hundredth time, and discover what the stars have in store for the next hundred.
