That's cheating Rick  --  looking in a dictionary for the word "thesaurus" is
like looking in Winn Dixie for meat.  Heck, even my Webster's Ninth New
Collegiate Dictionary list thesaursu.  How can there be a "Ninth New"?
Shouldn't it be merely "Ninth" or just "New"?  And why do I have all these
"Collegiate" reference books?  Are there no "dummy" books other than the "DOS
for Dummies", "Windows for...", and the like?  Best I get a beer myself and
ponder these curiosities.
