	Billiards - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Billiards is a game played on a table with low rubber boundary around the edges, small balls, and a "cue", a stick that is used to push the white ball into other balls.
		Billiards is also used to refer to the entire family of billiard-like games including pool games, once called pocket billiards, and snooker.
		Although the game billiards has been eclipsed by its more popular brethren (few modern pool halls have billiard tables) the name has escaped the seedier associations of pool halls and still finds employment where more "sophisticated" terms are needed.
