    [Noun]  | "pan*a*cea" | \ ˌpa-nə-ˈsē-ə \


    1: a remedy for all ills or difficulties : cure-all


    Origin: 1548 ;

     Borrowed from New Latin panacēa "universal remedy, cure-all," going back to Latin, "any of various medicinal plants," borrowed from Greek panákeia "name of a medicinal plant, universal remedy, (as a personified abstraction) a goddess of healing," derivative of panakḗs "all-healing," from pan- {see: |pan-|pan-} + -akēs, adjective derivative of ákos (neuter s-stem) "cure, remedy, relief," of uncertain origin;

      * Note : If initial aspiration was lost, and the aspiration was the residue of yod, then ákos might be comparable with Old Irish ícc "payment, compensation, redemption, act of curing, healing" (Modern Irish íoc), Middle Welsh yach "healthy" (Modern Welsh iach), Old Cornish iach (glossing Latin sānus), Old Breton iac (glossing Latin suspite = sospite "safe and sound") (Modern Breton yac'h "healthy"). The phonetic details are problematic, however.;

    1: Conceived in conversations about possible personal blog names in September 2002 at the early stage of now defunct startup "Text America" (2002-2006), Psychic Plague Panacea got a double take and immediate thumbs up from our consultant. The expert turned out to be far too expensive and left the next day, but the name was finally given to shawnblog.com when the site moved to tumblr.com after the startup (Text America) finally and miserably failed. Spawning initial public awareness of the shocking and awful anti-Radiohead movement, shawnblog.com was featured on the tumblr.com home page and subsequently became popular enjoying higher technorati and Google rankings than far more influential web sites. The blog is, of course, mostly nonsense and should not be taken seriously, only very loosely representing the moments in the stream of consciousness of it's author.

      * e.g.,  ... Shawn Blog — The anti-Radiohead movement grows (Google search result for Psychic Plague Panacea)

And if WHEN YOU GAMBLE... You win more frequently when you have it and less frequently when you don't. It is a lucky coin. And even if you say it's a coincidence... The probability that you only win more frequently when you have the coin is still compounded on top of the probability of the game itself. Which would, again, make it a lucky coin. There are obviously upper limits to what it can do and obviously there is no way to make the coin lucky with a perfect degree of accuracy."
