Pingularity:  The exponential decrease in network response times as we 
approach the Eschaton.

Kingularity:  A Singularity involving a Bostromian singleton.

Ringularity:  See Ringularity.

Tingularity:  A transcendence that feels really, really good.

Lingularity:  A Tingularity produced by oral action.  See also Fingularity.
