I wonder if anyone's ever made a misharmonic orchestra.

I took violin in elementary school.   Our elementary school orchestra was pretty misharmonic.

Power things, presumably. (This answer compliments of Sparrow.)

Sparrow also says, "I've never seen a battery do a trick. Other than powering things."

Blu-ray: high definition, meaning the display output contains a large amount of information.
Stoned dictionary: high definitions, meaning defining words while baked.
