Hmmm...interesting. And, to save people the trouble of having to go look it up, to see what it means, here's what Answers.com defines it as:
en·tro·py (ĕn'trə-pē)
n., pl. -pies.
1. (Symbol S) For a closed thermodynamic system, a quantitative measure of the amount of thermal energy not available to do work.
2. A measure of the disorder or randomness in a closed system.
3. A measure of the loss of information in a transmitted message.
4. The tendency for all matter and energy in the universe to evolve toward a state of inert uniformity.
5. Inevitable and steady deterioration of a system or society.
[German Entropie : Greek en-, in; see en–2 + Greek tropē, transformation.]
