Just an interesting note on our "scelerous deeds".  According to this: 
http://www.iclnet.org/pub/resources/text/site-surveys/funet.olbdos.txt

the OLB lexicons were identified as Thayer and BDB during OLBDOS days (or 
at least 10/94).  So my guess is that their renaming was done by Larry 
himself, once upon a time.

This is completely off-topic, but do you suppose "scelerous" means?  Do 
you think Larry meant "scurrilous", which Webster's defines as "1 a : 
using or given to coarse language b : being vulgar and evil 2 : containing 
obscenities, abuse, or slander"?  That's a bit harsh, I must say.
