WordWays continues to run some articles that actually touch on meaning. For example, in the current issue, there's an article by Will Nediger speculating that Douglas Adams took his fascination with the number 42 from Lewis Carroll.

After breaking into the Sherriff of Nottingham's armory, the flamboyant actor/thief Robin Hood took a bow.
Unfortunately, WordWays has a minimal Web presence — some samples and an opportunity to subscribe. It's just about tailor-made for living on line where eccentricity is a virtue.
