Snake dance
A snake dance is a parade before or during a high-school event such as a football game. The parade includes floats built by each class, marching bands, students, and alumni.

The University of Northern Iowa archives refer to a snake dance as early as 1922. A 1911 Associated Press dispatch covering Philadelphia fans celebrating the Philadelphia Athletics victory in Game 2 of the 1911 World Series reported, "Staid business and professional men joined their office boys and ragged urchins in a snake dance around city hall".

Oxazolidinone
The oxazolidones and isoxazolidones are a set of six isomeric five-membered heterocyclic compounds consisting of a carbonyl group, an oxygen atom, a nitrogen atom with a hydrogen atom attached, and two methylene groups. The chemicals differ in the relative position of these groups around the ring, which results in different functional group combinations.

2-Oxazolidinone is the parent compound of several protein synthesis inhibitor antibiotics and the Evans chiral auxiliaries for aldol reactions. Cycloserine is an antibiotic based on the 3-isoxazolidone parent.

Methylene group
A methylene group is any part of a molecule that consists of two hydrogen atoms bound to a carbon atom, which is connected to the remainder of the molecule by two single bonds. The group may be represented as −CH2− or >CH2, where the '>' denotes the two bonds.

This stands in contrast to a situation where the carbon atom is bound to the rest of the molecule by a double bond, which is preferably called a methylidene group, represented =CH2. Formerly the methylene name was used for both isomers. The name "methylene bridge" can be used for the single-bonded isomer, to emphatically exclude methylidene.  The distinction is often important, because the double bond is chemically different from two single bonds.

The methylene group should be distinguished from the CH2 molecule called carbene. This was also formerly called methylene.

Laplace was hanged at the prison in Basseterre on 19 December 2008. It was the country's first execution since 2000 and the only execution in the Americas outside the United States since 2003.  Laplace's execution was controversial since it was carried out before he was able to appeal his case to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London, which is the supreme court for Saint Kitts and Nevis.
