Webster’s Destroys Simpsons Joke

Most everyone remembers this bit from the Simpsons, episode 3F13, Lisa The Iconoclast:

Many of the class is assembled to watch a film, "Young Jebediah
Springfield". The film is cheaply made.  After a "fight" with a "land cow",
Jebediah is asked by a boy how he can hope to achieve such
greatness.

Jebediah: [on film] A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.
Edna: Embiggens?  I never heard that word before I moved to
Springfield
Ms.Hoover: I don't know why.  It's a perfectly cromulent word.

Way to go, Webster’s Dictionary. You’ve totally blown this classic Simpson’s joke. You jerks.

Do Not Eat iPod Shuffle. It Is Delicious.

Further down the iPod Shuffle page, footnote 2 is clarified:


Decent keynote, I think. Wish they had announced a Tiger ship date and maybe a new Powerbook, but oh well.
