Good, then you know all the stock odd words that get recycled over and over.
Ado, err, eft, ere, Erie, Eli, Erin, aloe, Aruba (I like that one, 
windsurfing heaven)...
Sometimes the writers come up with fresh definitions.  Today instead of the 
clue being "salamander" it was "Rep. Gingrich."  (how flattering :-)

Back On Topic -- didn't Rainbow publish a few Coco xwords?  By now we could 
make one up that members of this List (and only members) could ace.
Also, I once refereed a Comp Sci research report on an AI program that 
composed crossword puzzles.  A good use for a computer, IMO.
