So Webster's 1913 got a D7. I'm embarrassed by that poor showing.
I thought hiding it at #1 would make many of you forget it by the
time you got to #16. But what do I know? The two people with
natural 4's are Mr. Lodge, and Mr. Hirst. Unnatural 4's go to the
winnahs, Ms Schlutz, and Mr. Crom and Mr. Shefler. Since Bill Hirst has a one point lead over Mr. Lodge in the rolling scores, Lodge is another winnah, and Bill Hirst is the next dealah . . . unless my math, or my interpretation of the rules are somehow mangled. So, assuming all is correct, take it away, Bill Hirst!
1. (Zool.)Water monitor. A very large lizard ({Varanaus salvator)
native of India. It frequents the borders of streams and swims
actively. It becomes five or six feet long.
Called also two-banded monitor, and kabaragoya. The name is also
applied to other aquatic monitors.
