From his blog, "Fresh Meat" :
About seven months ago the universe suffered a quantum gravitational failure causing the entire universe to be destroyed. Fortunately another singularity emerged and caused the universe to be instantly recreated just exactly as it was. Exactly, except for one small detail-- narrowly focused appropriations in the U.S. budget were no longer called pork. They were called earmarks. Isn’t that wild?
Something similar happened once when I was a teen, and the only change was we suddenly started calling "noodles" "pasta."
