Cigars removed from online thesauri.

How about e-mailing the people and asking if they could add an entry for cigar cause you didn't find one. Then come back and tell us what happens. If they add it back you can take your tinfoil hat off.

Now wait just a minute Flower Basket! Aaron has PROOF! He said it is NOT a theory, so he must have proof. I say let's see his proof before we test for lack of proof.

Some old guy that lived back in the old days said the earth was the center of the solar system and the proof was right before everyone's eyes, but his PROOF wasn't really based on scientific fact, but rather on literal observation. I'm not smart enough to have had any of those philosphy classes like I'm sure Aaron has, but I would bet money that there is a term for Scientific proof and proof that is based on things that appear to be true based on observation and speculation.

(Disclaimer: I am partially teasing Aaron and partially seriously busting his balls. The truth is Aaron that I actually read quite a bit of information on your website. You wrote some interesting thought-provoking articles in your blog. In truth, if we asked those websites why they removed smoking-related information from their thesauri, they would probably say that children use these resources and they don't want to encourage curiosity through idle discovery (or some other such gibberish). This is simply a product of our "moral majority", which blushes shamelessly over an exposed breast on national TV while 69% of the male population surfs porn every night on the internet. I scream, "HYPROCRISY!" Show me an 8-year old boy who hasn't found a way to see a bare breast on his own and I'll show you a boy destined to be singing show-tunes in a broadway musical!)

I expected to see words like “stogie”, “stick”, “Cuban” and others. I thought that maybe it might have been a temporary database glitch on thesaurus.com, so I Googled for other online thesauri. Good luck trying to find “cigar”, “cigarette” or “stogie” in any online thesaurus!

Just out of curiousity what kind of dumbass needs a thesaurus to find synonym for cigar anyway? Seems like anyone who smokes them would learn these relatively fast and anyone who doesn't and wants to know can also find them fairly fast. Doesn't really seem like a super serious issue to me.

Now the whole Roswell, Area 51, and JFK assassination coverups? Those are different stories all togather.

Yeah really now, "stick" would be a slang sounding term not really a straight out synonym. I have also heard Stogie be used as either slang for cigar or meaning a cheaper cigar which wouldn't be a synonym.

Heck does anyone have a paper thesaurus that actually has cigar in it?
