	Billiards - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.

	Billiards
		Billiards is a family of games played on a table, with a stick, known as a cue stick, which is used to strike balls, moving them around the table.
		The word "billiard" may have evolved from the French word billart, meaning "mace", an implement, similar to a golf club, which was the forerunner to the modern cue.
		All authoritative rule sources deem it illegal to "scoop" under the cue ball with the tip of the cue to fling it into the air (technically because it is illegal to contact the cue ball with the ferrule of the cue, and because the cue ball is struck twice, both of which are classic fouls).

		In eight-ball, straight pool, and related games, sixteen balls are employed: fifteen colored "object balls" and one white "cue ball." In most parts of the world, object balls 1 through 7 are solid-colored, and are respectively colored yellow, blue, red, purple, orange, green, and dark red or brown.

	Bar Billiards - Online Guide
		The similarity of Bar Billiards with Bagatelle, the pub game that was most popular for at least a century after 1770 is so evident that it seems highly likely that Bar Billiards is a derivative of Bagatelle via some lineage but that lineage is, at present, unknown.

		Bar Billiards is still going strong especially in the South of England and the Channel Islands but has unfortunately lost a lot of its popularity due to the emergence of American 8 ball Pool.
