A blog on skepticism, religion and atheism; by a vegetable alkaloid, an extinct shelled cephalopod, and a (deceased) Siamese cat.
[Freethinkers are] a motley mob of deists, agnostics, secular humanists, pantheists, atheists, and who knows what else, and organizing seems to be against our nature. We have to resist that; we have to be willing to work together while recognizing the diversity of perspectives under the umbrella of freethought, and treat that variety as a strength rather than a weakness.

Ok, Theo, at the risk of being accused of gullibility or humourlessness, I checked your URL. Unsurprisingly, I got a different result - an entry for the word.
So, did I miss something in that picture, is this a lesson in carefully parsing disclaimers, or are you claiming that you actually got this result, maybe on April 1st?
No trick (or at least not one that I was responsible for). The screenshot was from last night (Tuesday, 5 May) - at the time, dictionary.com seemed to be completely broken. Not only was gullible not in the dictionary, neither were any of the few other words I cared to try (but screenshots of those would not have been nearly as interesting). When I checked again this morning, dictionary.com appeared to have returned to normal.
