Yes, congratulations, consuelo. Maxomancy (alt. def.): the sudden and overwhelming urge to worship a Quordlepleen.

Now, Maxie, I didn't specify that it was you, did I?
I might just happen to know of one or two other Quordlepleens...what's that, Zaphod?

Perhaps you will all grant me clemency for adding that Clemancy as a woman's name made its rounds a few hundred years ago.

makes me want to aks how it is executed
and Lizzie Borden day was just this past Saturday ...
Lizzie Borden took an axe
Gave her father forty whacks
When she saw what she had done
She gave her mother forty-one
And she divined: that if you are a wealthy, prominent Victorian maiden who hires as defense counsel the former Governor of the state who appointed to the bench one of the judges presiding at your trial, you will be acquitted.
