Yeah, that was funny as shit.  501 screens on my web browser (lynx) of
nothing but single words, in a long list down the left side of the page.
Needless to say, a few of them I never heard of, like "assai".

I don't know how you guys FIND this stuff.

The newspoetry server seems to be inaccessible at the moment, by the way.
