Very good. I particularly enjoyed this one:

PROOF

The assimilation of data in such a way that the desired conclusion seems to be the most plausible hypothesis.

Straight out of the DNC playbook.

PHYLOGENETIC TREE

A tree that grows mainly in textbooks of biology and which has a variety of both contemporary and fossil animals perched on the tips of its branches. This tree clearly shows how all of these animals branched off from common ancestors a long time ago. For some reason the common ancestors are never shown sitting in the crotches of the tree. Plants presumably grow on different trees which are rather rare.
