    Status: offline     		From UrbanDictionary.com, here's another ridonkulosity. 

    epiphanot:
    An idea that at first seems like an amazing insight (at least to the conceiver) but later turns out to be pointless, mundane, stupid, or incorrect, and often is the root cause of bad decisions. Mostly occurs under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
    Here is a bimutual epiphanot from one of Americas cinematic masterpieces, National Lampoon's "Animal House"...

    Larry: Okay. That means that our whole solar system could be, like one tiny atom in the fingernail of some other giant being. (Jennings nods) This is too much! That means one tiny atom in my fingernail could be--

    Jennings: Could be one little tiny universe.

    Larry: Could I buy some pot from you?

    To go along with that, here's the dictionary.com definition of ephiphany:

    e·piph·a·ny  /ɪˈpɪfəni/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[i-pif-uh-nee] –noun, plural -nies. 1.(initial capital letter) a Christian festival, observed on January 6, commemorating the manifestation of Christ to the gentiles in the persons of the Magi; Twelfth-day. 2.an appearance or manifestation, esp. of a deity. 3.a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience. 4.a literary work or section of a work presenting, usually symbolically, such a moment of revelation and insight.
