How cool is this? A VISUAL thesaurus. You enter a word, and you get back a "map" of that word. You can instantly see how it connects to other words. It's like looking at the night sky -- only they're words instead of stars. I'm giddy with delight at the whole thing. I stumbled upon it while looking up the word "predestination" for my 7th grader who has the flu and also an English assignment from her philosophy-minded English teacher. Check it out at http://www.visualthesaurus.com/landing/?word=predestination&ad=mwcom.dict.txt1The actual night sky is orion. It comes from http://www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/orion.jpg, which is fairly cool in a completely different way.
