#E16 (echiuroid to echovirus)

from The Dictionary

I read from echiuroid to echovirus. The full clip from American Pie can be watched here: https://youtu.be/rvtBb1FFUa8 Just like most of Greek Mythology, the story of Echo the Nymph is sad. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_(mythology) Get out of the echo chamber if you can! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_chamber_(media) "echovirus" stands for "enteric cytopathic human orphan virus". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echovirus From the NIH, "The term 'orphans' is used to designate those viruses which cannot definitely be associated with any recognized disease syndrome." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2555328/ The word of the episode is "echo". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo It seems like echo in a radio signal is literally just a radio signal bouncing off of an object and returning to the source that sent the signal which is RADAR! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar Yes, of course ducks' quacks echo, but they are quite quiet. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2003/sep/08/sciencenews.theguardianlifesupplement Theme music from Tom Maslowski https://zestysol.com/ Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/ Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq [email protected] https://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/ https://www.threads.net/@dictionarypod https://twitter.com/dictionarypod https://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/ https://www.patreon.com/spejampar https://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar 917-727-5757
