Idle-Head of Diabolu, Vol. IV: Martian Detectionary

No later than the second year of this blog, I started work on an "encyclopedia" page for all the major subjects covered here. It was so long ago, I was still using auto-HTML "strong"s to boldface and each entry redirected instead of popping up. These are things I hate. I mocked up art that was so hideous, even by my forgiving standards, that I think I actually eradicated all traces from existence. I tried to find the dang thing on two different computers, but nothing doing. Anyway, I'm finally at a point where I have the time and reference to try again and put together something that, while still clearly imperfect, is so vastly superior to my first try that it traveled back in time and eradicated all trace of the original from my computer. So that's what happened!

Below are newly drafted entries that will go into the reformatted master page, which I'll unveil sooner or later. As a whole, it'll be pretty overwhelming in scale, so I figured even a Vile Menagerie heavy taste would be easier on the textual stomach...
