Where Webster looked up definitions before he wrote the dictionary?
 
7th century BC. This first dictionary belongs to the library of the Ashurbanipal, the king of Assyria, Nineveh.

THis is according to this histories. There were lots before Webster. So he stole them from other people?
 
I also would like to know why there is no mouse-flavored cat food. (Shh .. catmom, go get a patent RIGHT NOW.)
 
because if we made mouse flavored food for cats it would incrase the spread of diseases and endanger mouses out there.

And the big reason is that there is no byproduct in the manufacturing foods for humans from mouses to give to the animal feed factories.
