One of my recent acquisitions is a Reverse Dictionary. It is wonderful. Lost for the correct term for the rope that connects a ship's bowsprit with her stem? Bobstay, of course. Or that rail around the stern?

NOw I've found an online version. I may never do anything useful again.

Next up: The World's Floppiest Thesaurus.
