Hi, Ardith Hinton!

 AH>    Q.  What do you call a big lizard with an extensive vocabulary?

 AH>    A.  Thesaurus rex.


I wonder who had invented Thesaurus Rex? I suspect he was a teacher who wanted 
to attract children to language learning. Children like horrible beasts. :)

-----Beginning of the citation-----
Thesaurus Rex
The Thesaurus Rex is a lonely creature that lurks in abandoned mines. At 20 
feet tall, he is a force to be reckoned with. Its name comes from the fact that 
it evolved from a Tyranosaurus Rex into a more knowledgable being. The monster 
is now capable of reading, writing and speaking human language. It spends its 
time expanding its vocabulary in a dim portion of the cave. Like its ancestors, 
this beast is territorial, so when a hero gets too close, it attacks without 
mercy.
