In rows, you say? The 1828 Webster's is purported to       have an entry for "hair-brained", but it's no longer accessible       through OneLook. This appears to be a permanent change, since       Christian Technologies are now trying to sell it as a book or CD; too       bad, because it provided a little historical perspective, especially       on American usage.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
