Fictioneers --

Well darn!  I'd thought the real definition was so ridiculous that 
no-one would choose it.  But y'all knew better, so this round is a 
three-way tie between the real def, Jean-Joseph, and Pierre, with six 
points each.  With the dictionary unable to run the next round, the 
co-winners are Pierre and Jean-Joseph, decide it between yourselves.

Jean-Joseph points out that Googling for "sanbenito" gets some odd 
stuff, including (very odd, and not safe for those sensitive to soft 
porn or bad writing)  http://www.mrdankelly.com/frdan1.html . Thank 
you, Jean-Joseph.
