	Mimic - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A mimic is any species that has evolved to appear similar to another successful species in order to dupe predators into avoiding the mimic, or dupe prey into approaching the mimic.
		For example, the Aegeria moth is a Batesian mimic of the yellowjacket wasp, because it resembles the wasp, but is not capable of stinging.
		On the other hand, a honeybee is a Müllerian mimic of the wasp (and vice-versa), since both share similar appearance and coloring, and both are capable of stinging.

		The capacity to mimic is sometimes called "mimetism." Mimetism differs from camouflage in that the mimic does not try to blend with the surroundings, but to appear as some other creature.
		Bakerian mimics (named after Herbert G. Baker), where the mimic resembles members of its own species in order to lure pollinators or reap other benefits, although the mimicry may not be readily apparent due to the fact that the members of the same species may still exhibit sexual dimorphism.
		It is commonly assumed that mimicry evolves as a positive adaptation; that is, the mimic gains fitness via convergent evolution which results in resemblance to another species.

	Mimic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A mimic generally resembles its target in one or more of the following: appearance, behavior, and habitat.
		This is rare, with the most celebrated example being the harmless Milk Snake, the moderately toxic False Coral Snakes and the deadly Coral Snakes.
		Butterflies: Limenitis archippus (the Viceroy butterfly) mimics Danaus plexippus (the Monarch) in coloration patterns and display behavior.

	Wikipedia: Evolution
		A pre-programmed task, as in a military maneuver, using this definition, may be termed an "evolution." One can also speak of stellar evolution, chemical evolution, cultural evolution or the evolution of an idea.
		Other kinds of evolution include evolutionary algorithms (which include genetic algorithms) which attempt to mimic processes similar to biological evolution in a computer program, most frequently as an optimization technique and as an experimental framework for the computational modelling of evolution.
		In the 19th century the word "evolution" was identified with improvement.

	Battlestar Galactica (2003) - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		In premise, the new series recasts several key characters from male to female and introduces the notion that the Cylons, the cybernetic enemies of the humans, were created by man. In addition to the Cylon Centurions there are also humanoid models that very closely mimic a complete human down to the cellular level.
		Among the most notable changes made from the older series are the inclusion of Cylon models which mimic humans, and numerous characters who are of a different race or gender.
		Human culture is made to more closely resemble contemporary 21st century Western culture, with names and costuming often indistinguishable from other television shows.

	Obsessive-compulsive disorder - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
		OCD is manifested in a variety of forms, but is most commonly characterized by a subject's obsessive drive to perform a particular task or set of tasks, compulsions commonly termed rituals.
		OCD should be distinguished from non-organic conditions that may mimic its symptoms, such as caffeinism.
		OCD should also be distinguished from the similarly named but notably different obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, which psychiatric guidelines define as a personality characteristic rather than an anxiety disorder.

		Robots take on many different forms, ranging from humanoid, which mimic the human form and way of moving, to industrial, whose appearance is dictated by the function they are to perform.
		The word "robot" is also used in a general sense to mean any machine which mimics the actions of a human (biomimicry), in the physical sense or in the mental sense.
		Other structures, such as those that mimic the mechanical structure of humans, various animals and insects, are comparatively rare.

	Automated Question Answering: Template-Based Approach
		Finally, a template-based QA system operates a set of templates that mimic user questions and link a question to its answer.
		The heart of a question template is its linguistic signature, a small question-specific ontology and lexicon.
		The latter feature is convenient for word-sense disambiguation, an otherwise difficult problem of computational linguistics.

	3. Lexical Language Processing (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.tamu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Since move is underspecified by a lexicon, sense-ambiguity arises; if we want to substitute move by a synonym, we do not know whether to replace it by movement or by impress, without changing the overall meaning.
		Such disambiguation would have to be based on contextual evidence.
		The advantage of first letting ambiguity arise in the lexical analysis, and then bringing context into the picture by a selection-process has the advantage that such a heuristic selection can usually be carried out, even if we have only a ``rough idea'' of the context like a probabilistic formalization based on a few simple assumptions.

		For other meanings of the word Maya, See Maya (disambiguation)'' The Maya are people of southern Mexico and northern Central America (Guatemala, Belize, western Honduras, and El Salvador) with some 3,000 years of history.
		Thus, as the sub-structural platforms were completed, the grand residences and temples of the Maya were constructed on the solid foundations of the platforms.
		As all structures were built, little attention seems to have been given to their utilitarian functionality and much to their external aesthetics; however, a certain repeated aspect, the corbeled arch, was often utilized to mimic the appearance and feel of the simple Maya hut.

		In comparison to other modern woodwind instruments, the oboe has a very clear and somewhat piercing tone, because it expresses a large range of harmonics.
		Out of all of the instruments, the harmonics produced by the oboe most mimic those of the human voice.
		Its uniquely penetrating timbre gives it the ability to be audible over other instruments in large ensembles, making it easily heard for tuning.

	Nikolai_Gogol - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia
		Very early he developed a dark and secretive disposition, mingled of painful self-consciousness and boundless ambition.
		Equally early he developed an extraordinary mimic talent which later on made him a matchless reader of his own works and induced him to toy with the idea of becoming an actor.
		In contemporary scholarship, there is a great deal of speculation and controversy over whether Gogol was a repressed homosexual and, if so, to what extent this accounts for his later creative and spiritual crises.

		There are at least two non-poisonous species of frogs in tropical America (Eleutherodactylus gaigei and Lithodytes lineatus) that mimic the colouration of dart poison frogs' coloration for self-protection (Batesian mimicry).
		Because frog toxins are extraordinarily diverse, they have raised the interest of biochemists as a "natural pharmacy".
