    The thesaurus site may become annoyed if you overdo this.

    However, it's not hard to do.  Search the output for
an "a" tag with class "noline", then extract the text content
of the "a" tag.  The BeautifulSoup manual will tell you how.

    If you want raw thesaurus data you can use freely, see 
"http://wordnet.princeton.edu".
