Gossypiboma: a type of alien cancer introduced to a scientist working at Area 51 in Nevada in 1957 when the first alien spacecraft was discovered. It was so named because the existence of this cancer was believed to be a hoax at first and its news spread by chatty conspiracy theorists. The only known case of the cancer was discovered in Dr. Iboma, a scientist and Ph.D. working for the American government since WWII. |

Many do not know that Boma was a gossipy woman who lived in the Old West who was in love with Jesse James. Jesse as we all know was a bank, stagecoach and train robber who had an unsubstantiated and undeserved Robin Hood like reputation. What most don�t know is that Jesse really was robbing the banks to save enough money to buy a ranch in Missouri so that he could settle down with Boma.
It is a fact that on April 3, 1882, Jesse James was killed by Robert Ford who was a member of the gang living in the James house and who was hoping to collect a state reward on James � head. What isn�t found in the books though is that Ford had a crush for Boma and that she, the conniver that she was was the one that encouraged Ford to shoot Jesse whose last words were, when he realized that he�d been betrayed by his love, �Oh, Boma!�
Since that faithful day GOSSIPYBOMA is a term used to describe a person, usually a woman, who betrays their loved one for monetary gains. And that�s the honest truth. Ed
