You check the thesaurus on "I'd like to see Bill Gates dead." and the last
phrase the thesaurus comes up with is "I'll drink to that."

Its basically a matter of poor pattern recognition. All you really have
to do is highlight "I'd" to get the same results everytime. In other
words, its a coincidence. You could substitute Gates' name with "Markus
Blumrich" and it would come out the same way.

The "zzzz" look-up apparently comes up with "sex", but not on my version
for some reason.
