Today's words (updated)

pandect \PAN dekt\ - 1. a complete code of the laws of a country or system of law  2. a treatise covering an entire subject

Another new word from Merriam-Websters WOTD.  I like new words!  Oh, and here's one from Friday's weather:

derecho \deh-RAY-cho\ - a thunderstorm complex that produces a damaging wind swath of at least 240 miles (about 400 km), featuring a concentrated area of convectively induced wind gusts exceeding 50 kts (58 mi/h, or about 93 km/hr).
