Okay, Bluffers. We now begin the penultimate round of our epic
game of Fictionary!

The ing word is: "ceratine". Send me your definitions. Yes, the above
address is correct.

By the way, I have discovered that the first official Fictionary
dictionary is now back up. However, some experimenting with it quickly
made it obvious that it is using the same dictionary as #2. Different
interface, same content. Oh well.

Lets start a game of Virus.

If understand the rules very well I would volunteer as referee, but I 
think that there is a hole in the rules when the number of players 
is larger then 10. 

So the maximum number of starting players is 10 :) 

I will wait a week before I start the game.

	/dev:  I'm voting for Habeous.
	But the thing that gets me is that no one seems to write 
*limericks* for the limerick contest.  It would only take a tiny 
sleight-of-time to get this poem at least *somewhere* near the right 
number of syllables.
