Here are a couple of the winners of the Washington Post's Mensa Invitational, which, once again, asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting or changing one letter and supply a new definition:
1. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.
2. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
3. Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
