The Foolish Dictionary

There are many free things available in net, my favorite one is E-books in Project Gutenberg. You can find all the classic works there. Though it is difficult to read the entire work thro computer it has some rare works that you can’t find in the market.

There is one book called Foolish Dictionary by Gideon Wurdz, he has given some funny meanings to more than 500 words.
