Self contained breathing apparatus - SCBA is nowadays an acronym for self contained breathing apparatus. It is a device worn by rescue workers, firefighters, and others to provide breathable air in a hostile environment.
Simia - In his Systema Naturae of 1758, Carolus Linnaeus divided the primates into three genera: Homo, Simia, and Lemur. Homo contained humans (Homo sapiens and two species lacking precise descriptions), Lemur contained four Lemurs and a Colugo, and Simia contained all the rest — it was, in modern terms, a wastebin taxon for the primates.
Minigame - A minigame, sometimes called a subgame, is a short video game contained within another game. Usually the minigame is smaller or more simplistic than the game in which it is contained.
Virgin Decalog - The Virgin Decalog books were collections of short stories published by Virgin Publishing based on the television series Doctor Who: they gained their name from the fact that each volume contained ten stories (although the last two collections both contained eleven). Five volumes were published between 1994 and September 1997, although volumes 4 and 5 did not feature the Doctor or any other non-Virgin copyrighted characters.
