Soap \Soap\, n. [OE. sope, AS. s[be]pe; akin to D. zeep, G.       seife, OHG. seifa, Icel. s[be]pa, Sw. s[?]pa, Dan. s[?]be,       and perhaps to AS. s[c6]pan to drip, MHG. s[c6]fen, and L.       sebum tallow. Cf. {Saponaceous}.]       A substance which dissolves in water, thus forming a lather,       and is used as a cleansing agent. Soap is produced by       combining fats or oils with alkalies or alkaline earths,       usually by boiling, and consists of salts of sodium,       potassium, etc., with the fatty acids (oleic, stearic,       palmitic, etc.). See the Note below, and cf.       {Saponification}. By extension, any compound of similar       composition or properties, whether used as a cleaning agent       or not.          Note: In general, soaps are of two classes, hard and soft.                Calcium, magnesium, lead, etc., form soaps, but they                are insoluble and useless.                            The purifying action of soap depends upon the                         fact that it is decomposed by a large quantity of                         water into free alkali and an insoluble acid                         salt. The first of these takes away the fatty                         dirt on washing, and the latter forms the soap                         lather which envelops the greasy matter and thus                         tends to remove it.                        --Roscoe &                                                                               Schorlemmer.          {Castile soap}, a fine-grained hard soap, white or mottled,             made of olive oil and soda; -- called also {Marseilles,             [or] Venetian, soap}.          {Hard soap}, any one of a great variety of soaps, of             different ingredients and color, which are hard and             compact.

In the             simplest form, the organism arising from sexual generation             produces offspiring unlike itself, agamogenetically.             These, however, in time acquire reproductive organs, and             from their impregnated germs the original parent form is             reproduced. In more complicated cases, the first series of             organisms produced agamogenetically may give rise to             others by a like process, and these in turn to still other             generations. Ultimately, however, a generation is formed             which develops sexual organs, and the original form is             reproduced.          {Spontaneous generation} (Biol.), the fancied production of             living organisms without previously existing parents from             inorganic matter, or from decomposing organic matter, a             notion which at one time had many supporters; abiogenesis.

Shub-Internet /shuhb' in't*r-net/ n.   [MUD: from H. P.    Lovecraft's evil fictional deity Shub-Niggurath, the Black Goat with    a Thousand Young] The harsh personification of the Internet: Beast    of a Thousand Processes, Eater of Characters, Avatar of Line Noise,    and Imp of Call Waiting; the hideous multi-tendriled entity formed    of all the manifold connections of the net.   A sect of MUDders    worships Shub-Internet, sacrificing objects and praying for good    connections.   To no avail -- its purpose is malign and evil, and is    the cause of all network slowdown.   Often heard as in "Freela casts    a tac nuke at Shub-Internet for slowing her down."   (A forged    response often follows along the lines of: "Shub-Internet gulps down    the tac nuke and burps happily.")   Also cursed by users of the Web,    {FTP} and {TELNET} when the system slows down.   The dread name of    Shub-Internet is seldom spoken aloud, as it is said that repeating    it three times will cause the being to wake, deep within its lair    beneath the Pentagon.   Compare {Random Number God}.          [January 1996: It develops that one of the computer administrators    in the basement of the Pentagon read this entry and fell over    laughing.   As a result, you too can now poke Shub-Internet by    {ping}ing shub-internet.ims.disa.mil.   See also {kremvax}. - ESR]          [April 1999: shub-internet.ims.disa.mil is no more, alas.   But    Shub-Internet lives o^$#$*^ - ESR]
