Is the word "heterological" homological or heterological?

If it is heterological, then it must be homological.

If it is homological, then it must be heterological.

Don't worry, I wrote a program that can find the answer for you. It's been running for a while though...

Maybe somebody could come up with a program to determine if my program will halt or continue forever?

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
