The Devil's Dictionary

The Devil's Dictinonary is a different kind of dictionary, written by Ambrose Bierce.
Bierce's dictionary doesn't contain normal definitions - his definitions are funny and cynical. For example, in a normal dictonary the definition of dentist is "a kind of doctor who looks after people's teeth". However in The Devil's Dictionary, the definition is "a person who puts metals in your mouth and takes coins out of your pocket"! LOL!!!
Some funny definitions:
Star - is a person who works all her life to become famous and then wear sunglasses so people don't recognize her.
Brain - is something which starts working when you get up in the morning and stops working when you get to work or school.
