Yummier game!

High-scoring words of the night so far:

YUMMIER (1138 points; two 4W, two 2W), GAMEY (117 points; two 3W) - against Arthur S.
RESAWING (154 points; 2W, 4W), SIGHLIKE (122 points; 4W) - against Doug S.
FOXES (194 points) - against Sue L. [5W, 2W, hook off RAJA for a plural]


I actually REMOVED at least 200 tags from my Wordscraper archives entry so it would be way easier to load! This is good until the NEXT time I have to do this... *sigh*

Poo nugget for this weekend: Doo You Know? - Beans, Beans, They're Good For Your Heart. The More You Eat... Venezuelan researchers have used their knowledge of the healthful effect of bacteria ("probiotics") to engineer beans that cause less flatulence. By mixing beans with two species of Lactobacillus, they found that rats had 88 percent less raffinose, a gas-forming compound. GI illnesses, heart disease, cancer, and now, beans - the list of possible applications for probiotics keeps on growing. The question remains: Do these beans taste good in a burrito? Skeptics predict that the genetically engineered beans will take on a more tangy flavor akin to that of sauerkraut and sourdough bread, foods that employ a similar pre-fermentation process.
