 With all this talk of dictionaries, try the Devil's Dictionary  for
something a little different. It was written by Ambrose Bierce in 1911.
For a taste, here is his definition of education

EDUCATION, n. 
That which discloses to the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack
of understanding.

Enjoy,
