[Dixonary] FURPHY results

The advertising sticker was more believable than the water cart! An
Australian named Furphy seems to have made a lot of them, and in WWI the
"furphy" was where gossip occurred for Australian troops -- so also
sometimes a piece of absurd gossip.

Abell with 5 points is the new Dealer, though.
