The dinosaur book.

Call me callous, heartless, unfeeling or cold; I simply can't ignore it any longer.

C'mon people, let's get out the dusty Roget's Thesaurus and USE IT.

Every time I hear about the "foiled terrorist plot", I cringe. It's just so trite.
The word FOILED, although used correctly, brings to mind comic books and/or cartoons, ala "Drat! Foiled again."

How about mixing it up a little? Here are a few suggestions:
Thwarted
Prevented
Stymied
Averted

*HOWEVER, because George Bush is an idiot and images of cartoons are already in place, he can feel free to use the word "foiled" at will. It just cements my feelings of contempt even more.
(Let's not even go into how safe we should all feel with him at the helm.)
