	Parabola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The parabolic trajectory of projectiles was discovered experimentally by Galileo in the early 17th century, who performed experiments with balls rolling on inclined planes.
		The most well-known instance is the parabolic reflector, which is a mirror or similar reflective device that concentrates light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation to a common focal point.
		The principle of the parabolic reflector was discovered by the geometer Archimedes in the 3rd century B.C., who constructed parabolic mirrors to defend Syracuse against the Roman fleet, by concentrating the sun's rays to set fire to the decks of the Roman ships.

		A parabola spun about this axis in three dimensions traces out a shape known as a paraboloid of revolution.
		A particle or body in motion under the influence of a uniform gravitational field (for instance, a baseball flying through the air, neglecting air friction) follows a parabolic trajectory.
		The parabola is an inverse transform of a cardioid.

		I'm very good at integral and differential calculus; I know the scientific names of beings animalculous: In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral, I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
		I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's; I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox, I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus, In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;" So, I'll shut up now.
		I just can't stand to see a child's sense of self questioned, ever.

	Pharaoh's Pump by Edward J. Kunkel
		Its walls are very steep, made of stone laid up dry, and vine covered.
		- The walls are not parabolous as shown in Perring's map, dated 1839.
		Perhaps these stone walls are modern, a sort of a tidying up job.

		And with such tongue twisters as "I quote in elegiac all the crimes of Heliogabalus," Linden ain't kidding.
		(Noting Gilbert's quick, if esoteric, nod to the infamous third-century Roman emperor, Linden says: "All I know is, it rhymes with 'parabolous.'") Still, he has found learning the role in Pirates "a fascinating opportunity.
		With all those marvelous words, it's my mission that every word will be, if not understood, then at least heard and received."
