Justice Scalia is funny

Here's another (nerdy) example from his dissent yesterday in Montana v. Wyoming:

"The Court interprets the Yellowstone River Compact...the right to grant...Wyomans the right to increase their consumption..."*

"*The dictionary-approved term is “Wyomingite,” which is also the name of a type of lava, see Webster’s New International Dictionary 2961 (2d ed. 1957). I believe the people of Wyoming deserve better."
