Word of the Day?

So everyday, I get a text message from dictionary.com introducing me to a new word. I have learned many awesomesauce words thanks to them. Anyway, today at 12:46 pm I snatched my phone off the counter at the sound of vibrations. And there before me was the word...

BEHEMOTH
behemoth \ bih-HEE-muhth \ ,noun;
1. Any creature or thing of monstrous size or power

Well, as you may now, Behemoth is the sequel to Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld (click HERE to see a review). And indeed there are creatures of monstrous size and power in that book. This little coincidence basically made my day as depressing as that is, and I just thought I'd share. Okay bye :)
