I was wondering what metastatize or whatever that word meant, so I looked it up on dictionary.com Here's what I found:
me·tas·ta·size Audio pronunciation of "metastasize" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (m-tst-sz)
intr.v. me·tas·ta·sized, me·tas·ta·siz·ing, me·tas·ta·siz·es
1. To be transmitted or transferred by metastasis.
2. To be changed or transformed, especially dangerously: “a need for love that would metastasize into an insatiable craving for attention” (Michiko Kakutani).
3. To spread, especially destructively: “ [disinformation]... that even now continues to metastasize... to such a degree that myth threatens to overthrow history” (Gore Vidal).
Dunno what this really means for us, but I thought it was interesting...
