n. The ultimate, indivisible unit of matter. (See
Molecule.) According to Leibnitz, as nearly as he seems willing to
be understood, the monad has body without bulk, and mind without
manifestation — Leibnitz knows him by the innate power of
considering. He has founded upon him a theory of the universe, which

Small as he is, the monad contains all the powers and possibilities
needful to his evolution into a German philosopher of the first class

confounded with the microbe, or bacillus; by its inability to discern
him, a good microscope shows him to be of an entirely distinct
species.
1. an atmosphere conducive to meditation and reflection; a good place to plan and spend one’s time; an oasis.
2. a dining room; a wide selection of healthy and somewhat-reasonably priced foods centrally located and pleasantly distributed.
3. a bar or overpriced distillery, tainted with the mild stench of shoe polish and the harsh glare of upper-class smugness, but hey, what are you gonna do?
4. an airport’s internal sleeping quarters; where to catch up on rest between flights; a hotel room without the beds, private bathrooms, dividing walls, or anyone to watch your bags if you nod off.
5. the last thing anyone ever sees in his or her right mind.
