Today's story ponders George Lucas' next big project. I think it's safe to say that he is running out of ideas.

gulosity / gyou – LA – sit – ee / noun. Middle English. greediness, esp. excessive appetite, gluttony

This lovely little word jumped around in Rome for awhile as gulositas, from Latin "gulosus gluttonous," the same root as "gluttony."  It tiptoed around France for a bit, and then came into use from the Middle English "gulosite" in the 15th century.
