Apoc-Zen Project: Omphaloskepsis



Apocryphal Zenzizenzizenzic is an old Latin phrase referring to someone who has the uncanny ability to define obscure words with pinpoint accuracy.

NOT!
(read about the project and accompanying contest)

Day 15: Omphaloskepsis: The scientific word used to describe a smaller than average person with a slightly orange complexion and abnormally green hair. Native to Loompaland.


In the early 1900s, Loompaland, was raided by tyrants who were able to smuggle these bite-size humanoids into the US virtually undetected. They have been traded/sold for years via black market and later, in more recent years, on ebay.

While this natural anomaly is slowing phasing out, certain traits are still recognizable in this "Melting Pot" that makes up today's outstanding US citizens. 


We'll you've got my definition. What's yours? (leave it in the comments for your chance to win)
