I recently grabbed a URL from the Address Bar in Safari. My intention was to drag it to the edge of the screen and drop it in Yojimbo's pop-out drawer. Along the way, I accidentally dropped the URL on the Dictionary Window. To my surprise, the web page instantly appeared in the Dictionary!
I am not sure what to do with this. I guess if you need another way to view web pages, just fire up your Dictionary app, and drop URLs for elegant viewing!
[robg adds: I inserted the screenshot above, showing Apple's site loaded in Dictionary. And yes, this just shows that Dictionary uses WebKit to display its pages, but it's still interesting to see. Dictionary makes an awful web browser, BTW (no back button, no favorites, ...), so I'd say stick with your current browser :).]
