Visual Thesaurus and Course Notes

So I had to bust out a thesaurus the other day, for whatever reason, I don't remember, but it was still ridiculously time consuming and... yeah, completely unproductive.
I eventually came across this site that's like visualthesaurus.com. It's officially the best... thesaurus... ever... wow, that should never be repeated. I don't have a life, for those of you that weren't on board already.
Anywho, all it is is this Java program that gets whatever word you search from their database, shows it as a root word, and has radially branching possible definitions (color-coded to the different parts of speech), and from those it has possible words as synonyms. For those of us that think a paper thesaurus sucks major, and would appreciate something that doesn't, link in the sidebar.

On a not-really-but-kinda-related note, Course Notes is like my new best friend. Our history book, however, is not.

Wanna pull a practical joke really bad, post ending in the word "prognosticate" third says what I do.
