A.Word.A.Day--Today's Word: "resistentialism"

Know how your printer always breaks down when you have to submit a paper to a professor in 15 minutes? Or how about when your computer eats the diskette with the only copy of your research paper on it? Or when you lose your Internet connection in the middle of a WebCT quiz?

Resistentialism explains it all: "The theory that inanimate objects demonstrate hostile behavior against us" (A.Word.A.Day).
