I just discovered a feature on NYTimes.com which I didn't even realize was available. 

 

1. Go to an article page, like this one

2. Find a word you don't know (or any word in the body of the article).  My word was Pablum

3. Double click on the word

 

Woah!  Definition popup!  That's actually what I was looking for! 

 

I was actually trying to right-click, but my finger twitched.  I knew that IE doesn't have a lookup feature by default, but I remember that there was a Firefox extension which would open dictionary.com in a new tab if you right clicked on a word.  I was secretly hoping that I had found and installed such a feature in IE 

 

Oh, well.  Pleasant surprise.  By the way, Pablum is  "A trademark used for a bland soft cereal for infants." 

 

And this week, no matter what happens, you're still in better shape than Antonio Gonzales.
