Sentence: Dr. Sara Brum and Dr. Cy Napps were doing research into the newly emerging field of Astrogliaology, which they had stumbled on by accident in their lab and immediately filed for patent. Their experiments were based on the theory that if the brain were subjected to enough blunt trauma that one could cross dimensions and grant one divination by the constellations. In other words, you could see stars. Loosely based on the Zodiac, these inner stars would be renamed: Pisces=Pia; Aries=Axon; Taurus=Temporal;Gemini=Gyrus; Cancer=Cortex; Leo=Lobes; Virgo=Ventricle; Libra=Limbic; Scorpio=Skull; Sagittarius=Suprachiasmatic; Capricorn=Cranium & Aquarius=Amygdala. The possibilities were endless...the good doctors envisioned millions of suggestable people paying large sums to have the stars in their heads read. Their Astrogliaology Techniques could be taught at Star Trek Conventions and Pschyic Fairs. The only downside to their theorum was the fact that one-too-many trips to the inner galaxies might leave some of their clients even more brain-dead than they already were...

Etymology: Astroglia (a type of glial cell that supports neurons;tissue consisting of large stellate neuroglial cells in the brain) & Astrology (a pseudoscience claiming divination by the positions of the planets and sun and moon)

Sentence: Brain Injury researchers,Dr. Gene Yuss and his assistant, Dr.Sara Bellum had been working on their thesis that the more often you bonked someone's cranium, the more stars that they could see. They had even gotten grants from NASA to pursue their concusstellation theory. They worked very hard at hitting each other on the head to test their theory. The only problem with their work was that you could only do it so long before you died or got permanent damage, so we'll never know what their final findings actually were. No wonder NASA also looks for evidence of intelligent life forms on other planets...

Etymology: Concussion (injury to the brain caused by a blow) & Constellation (a configuration of stars as seen from the earth)
