Bartleby Adds The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy

Bartleby.com has added "The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy," featuring over 6,900 entries, to its site at http://www.bartleby.com/59/ .

You can search through the dictionary by category (from The Bible to Technology) or search by keyword. A search for "mercury" found eight results, ranging from mythology to chemistry to solar systems to the Mercury Program. Each result contains a brief explanation of the name or reference, with some crosslinking.

Mentions here were as diverse as Monty Python, jet lag, think tank, and Enron. Why wasn't this available when Dennis Miller was commentating Monday Night Football?
