So, I happened to notice that
"webster number"
gives the response
The webster servers have failed to answer the request to look up your word.
This could be because the webster server is down, or because your word is
too long and the server can't find it. Try looking up "tree" -- if that
works, then you've probably misspelled your word. If it fails, then send
mail to bug-sipb@ATHENA.MIT.EDU to let the SIPB know that the servers are
broken.
webster tree, and webster anything else are fine. I don't think I'm
mispelling it...

(who does know what number means, but was curious if things that were
noted as "cross references:" elsewhere had interesting entries. On
the other hand, "metric system," which is cross referenced, websters
fine (and isn't particularly interesting, alas))
