fun with dictionaries: two things I wish I'd thought of first

I'm officially the lamest dictionary lover ever for not coming up with either:

A) Webster's Daily, full of "found poetry from the first edition of Noah Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language (1828)." Choice gem:

Blink, n.

Blink of ice, is the dazzling whiteness about the horizon, occasioned by the reflection of light from fields of ice at sea.

in your dictionaries verbing your nouns image
Evil Mad Scientist's take on "I am in your base killing your dudes."

OR

B) This thrilling variation [via boing boing] of the worn out "in your {noun} {verb}ing your {noun}s" meme. Not a particular fan of that meme generally, but this one is just too good for…um…adjectives.
