Word of the day

Panopticon. n. 1. A building, as a prison, hospital, library, or the like, so arranged that all parts of the interior are visible from a single point. 2. A room for the exhibition of novelties.

I learned that word from today's Bleat, used as a synonym for the Internet. Wow. It's the best word I've learned in some months.
