#E36 (eight to eisegesis)
from The Dictionary
I read from eight to eisegesis. I think the obvious answer as to why the 8 ball is black, and not a different number, is because it's the center number! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-ball The Eightfold way in physics "...is an allusion to the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eightfold_way_(physics) Everything you wanted to know about toll free dialing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toll-free_telephone_number The naming of Einsteinium (99) is closely related to Fermium (100). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einsteinium The word of the episode is "800 pound gorilla". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/800-pound_gorilla 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
