I thought this was unserious enough to take to the lounge rather than Applications. But here's an interesting entry from the new OS X Dictionary.app. I noticed on another site that both "Jobs", and "Wozniak" have entries in the dictionary, so I tried a few more. This one is either a spelling mistake, or pretty funny (or mean, depending on your political orientation)
Note the sentence "As part of his war of terrorism and maintaining that Saddam Hussein was developing chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. "

Why doies that remind me of the Dread Pirate Roberts?
Because no one would be afraid of the Dread Pirate Wesley.

What good is a dictionary if it is full of left wing thinking? Can you post a screenshot of the About/Credits window?

What part of the entry isn't true apart from the spelling mistake? (which I think is near the truth anyway)

It's what they don't say, like removing Saddam Hussein and arresting Al-Qaeda members. This dictionary tries to make the controversial and debatable things sound as bad as possible. And the last sentence could apply to any war, duh.
What's the online equivalent of this dictionary.app? I want to see the definition of William J. Clinton, and Bill Gates III.

Them seem alright to me. Just stated the facts of each man. Technically Clinton was the first elected president to be impeached.

Technically, no. Impeachment is the act of charging an official. Andrew Johnson was impeached but not convicted.
