Sorry about this, am in a trivial mood. I get the impression
much Open Source software could be described using this (passed
on by a friend who was experiencing this at the time):
Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary will have it:
"Lucubration" = a composition that smells of the lamp... a
work composed by candlelight... ie composed in the dead of
night.
Lachlan.
PS: Sweep of the dictionary also got the following defined:
samizdat: [Russ., lit., self published.] a system by which
manuscripts denied official publication in the Soviet Union
are circulated clandestinely in typescript or in
mimeograph form, or are smuggled out for publication.
----
verisimilitude: [L. verisimilitudo, from verisimilis; see verisimilar]
1. the appearance of being true or real
2. something that has the mere apearance of being true or real
