Or even two-liners:
Q. Why have elephants got Big Ears?
A. Because Noddy won't pay the ransom.

Date: 2005-11-16 10:51 pm (UTC)It seems the Devil's Dictionary 2.0 has an RSS feed so can be made into an LJ daily item, and that there is an earlier, bigger Devil's Dictionary X (http://www.sedition.com/ddx/) which also has an RSS feed. The original Devil's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce is laid out in similar fashion online (http://dd.pangyre.org/) though you can only refer to it there and they use the site to try and sell you their dead tree book, but I found Ambrose Bierce's original (electronic version) freely downloadable (http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/972) from Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/) (or goto their search page (http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/)).
