[Ads-l] biologic, n.

[dave@wilton.net]

There is this exchange in the 1990 movie "The Hunt for Red October" (I don't know if the word is used in the novel). Jones is training Beaumont on the submarine's sonar system:
 
"Jones:  So, like Beethoven on the computer, you have labored to produce ... a biologic.
 
"Beaumont:  A what? 
 
"Jones:  A whale, Seaman Beaumont, a whale. A marine mammal that knows a hell of a lot more about sonar, than you do."

" David Grusch, a former Air Force officer, said during a House Oversight
Committee hearing that his information was based on interviews with 40
witnesses and that he knew where the material was being held. Grusch added
that nonhuman 'biologics' were recovered along with the [alien] craft."
