oddities feelings enlightenment
It is a special kind of enlightenment to have this feeling that the usual, the way things normally are, is odduncanny and highly improbable.

Sudden death is my favorite because there is something comical about it being a side effect. What exactly is the main effect in that case? Relief from abdominal bloating? Charles Krauthammer
