From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Tapeworm \Tape"worm`\, n. (Zo[94]l.)
      Any one of numerous species of cestode worms belonging to
      T[91]nia and many allied genera. The body is long, flat, and
      composed of numerous segments or proglottids varying in
      shape, those toward the end of the body being much larger and
      longer than the anterior ones, and containing the fully
      developed sexual organs. The head is small, destitute of a
      mouth, but furnished with two or more suckers (which vary
      greatly in shape in different genera), and sometimes, also,
      with hooks for adhesion to the walls of the intestines of the
      animals in which they are parasitic. The larv[91] (see
      {Cysticercus}) live in the flesh of various creatures, and
      when swallowed by another animal of the right species develop
      into the mature tapeworm in its intestine. See Illustration
      in Appendix.
  
      Note: Three species are common parasites of man: the {pork
               tapeworm} ({T[91]nia solium}), the larva of which is
               found in pork; the {beef tapeworm} ({T.
               mediocanellata}), the larva of which lives in the flesh
               of young cattle; and the {broad tapeworm}
               ({Bothriocephalus latus}) which is found chiefly in the
               inhabitants of the mountainous regions of Europe and
               Asia. See also {Echinococcus}, {Cysticercus},
               {Proglottis}, and 2d {Measles}, 4.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:

      fwnh` sound, voice.]
      An instrument combining a cinematograph and a phonograph so
      that the moving figures on the screen are accompanied by the
      appropriate sounds.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Bobo the Webmonkey
  
      What {B1FF} was to {BITNET} users, Bobo the
      Webmonkey is to {webmonkeys} - the mythical prototype of
      incompetent web designers everywhere.   In fact, Bobo may be
      what B1FF became when he grew up.
  
      Bobo knows about {HTML} only what he has learned from viewing
      the source of other people's Web pages.
  
      Bobo doesn't know what a {MIME type} is, even though someone
      gave him a hardcopy of the {FOLDOC} entry for it.
  
      Bobo may have used an HTML code validator
      {(http://validator.w3.org/)} before, but isn't sure.
  
      Bobo doesn't know what the difference between {GIF} and {JPEG}
      is.   He thinks {PNG} is a foreign country.
  
      All the pages Bobo has designed say "Welcome to [organisation]
      online!" at the top, and say "click here!" at least three
      times per page.
  
      Bobo has used {Photoshop} before; he doesn't understand why
      people keep asking if he's ever been tested for
      color-blindness.
  
      Bobo never got that "its" / "it's" distinction real clear, as
      you can tell from his pages.
  
      Bobo likes .
