eg I wondered if "Roro" had meaning in any Polynesian languages other 
than NZ Maori.

I found it meant "'brain" in the language of the Rapanui people of 
Easter Island.
As the Maori people have coined the term "rorohiko" for 'computer' 
this suggests that roro is also brain in Maori (which I was not aware 
of).
And it suggests a link between Easter Island and NZ.

It also knew rorohiko and it's language.
Not many dictionaries are 'Te Reo' aware.
It doesn't know 'Te Reo' as a word:-)

I think that qualifies for at least an entry level 'fantastic' rating.
Unless you take 'fantastic' at its literal rather than common English 
usage meaning.
