Wow that is beautiful. Wish that was my name. My first name is Melanie and for the sake of anonimity I'll let you figure out what my last name is. By the way, I am reminded of the guy who always wanted a personalized liscence plate so he changed his name to JFZ36HQ.
She understands, she doesn't comprehend

Dwell (a time/angle mesurement used to tune up old "points" style automotive distributers)
Gusset (used to strengthen a structure)
Pinion (a gear used in automotive differentials)
Carburetor (cooler sounding than "fuel injection", which gives
me a mental image of a syringe 
)
Zerk fitting (also known as a grease nipple)
Yep, I love automotive termanology, hence the college courses to get my ASE certification.

You asked for it...try not to criticize my grammar, this was hard to do...........
The toothsome herpetologist, always circumspect owing in large part to years of bites, a novice in his benign academic forays into Egyptology and ancient natural disasters, jumped when he heard a thud echo from the dodecahedron pod from Krakatoa, tactful and mindful of others he shouted (not Crap!), “Onomatopoeia,” then opened the triskaidekaphobia friendly container filled with a googol of phosphorous pebbles.

If each "pebble" was just one atom of phosphorus (you didn't specify which phosphorous compound, but I reckon there's @least a chance the original poster meant phosphorus; besides, a molecule of any phosphorous compound will mass more than one atom of phosphorus), the contents of the container would mass 10 to the 50th power times the Earth. And it would have to be covered with water, lest it spontaneously burst into flame. But there isn't that much water in the Milky Way (and notwithstanding ambiguity as to whether Firefly takes place within one planetary system, or many, nor some ham-fisted dialogue in one of the eps, it is obvious that Firefly takes place within a small region of the Orion arm of the Milky Way), so some of the pebbles will be exposed. But the burning wouldn't last long, 'cause a fraction about 10 to the minus 53rd power of the stuff would use up all the oxygen in Earth's atmosphere. Make that Earth-That-Was.
I would've gone for something like a google of academic tact, which might just be measurable.
