8. A law that makes illegal an act that was
legal when committed.
 After the fact, retroactive
Let's imagine, for example, that your local town
has a littering problem. Littering is entirely legal
in town. A law is written to ban littering, but
lawmakers want to catch perpetrators who
have already been littering--so they make the
law effective as of five years ago. This would
be an ex post facto law.

10.  “God out of a machine” and it harkens
back ancient Greek and Roman plays.
When the plot would become too tangled or confusing, the writers
would simply bring in God, lowered in via a pulley system (the
machine) and he would wrap it all up. Today, it’s still used in
literature to describe a plot where an artificial or improbable
means of resolving a conflict is used.
