Okay, I looked it up, too. My Webster's Ninth New Collegiate...

morbid adj [L morbidus diseased, fr. morbus disease; akin to Gk marainine to waste away - more at SMART] (1656) 1 a : of, relating to, or characteristic of disease (~ anatomy) b: affected with or induced by disease (a ~ condition) c : productive of disease (~ substances) 2 : abnormally susceptible to or characterized by gloomy or unwholesome feelings 3: GRISLY, GRUESOME (~ details) (curiosity)

From whence I support death and grotesque. HOWEVER, you coined it, so you define it. Mine was merely a suggestion of a possible interpretation. In any case, I thought it was kewl.
