  10. Who said "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death  
  11. your right to say it."?  This and hundreds of other famous quotations   
  12. are the basis of the trivia game, THE LAST WORD.                        
  13.                                                                         
  14. You can answer questions about quotations by selecting either who said  
  15. it, why it was said, where it was said, or what it was said about.      
  16. Your answers are then typed in and are matched against a set of         
  17. acceptable responses with a sophisticated pattern-recognition algorithm.
  18. You don't have spell every name perfectly to receive credit and bonus   
  19. points are even given for quick responses.                              
  20.                                                                         
  21. While this is not a game for children; it can be used as an educational 
  22. tool for young adults.  Quotations are taken from old movies (Garbo,    
  23. Bogart, etc.), humorists like Robert Orben, songs from Gilbert and      
  24. Sullivan, and writers like Kipling, Nietzsche, Frost, Shakespeare, and  
  25. Hemmingway.  (P.S.  It was Voltaire.)
