Webster's Online Dictionary - with Multilingual Thesaurus Translation
This is a wonderful time sink.
from the site: What do you get when you start with Webster's classic 1913 unabridged dictionary, and you add updated definitions, thousands of images (one picture being worth a thousand words...), quotes, trade names, references, timelines, translations and any other bit of information that can help someone understand a word from as many perspectives as possible? For any given word, what you get is Webster's Online Dictionary with Multilingual Thesaurus Translation.
If I pop towse into the search I get all sorts of information up to and including how to spell out "towse" using Conan Doyle's Dancing Men code.

Bertold Brecht:
Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
