we have all heard of a heard of a herd of cows, a flock of sheep, a gaggle of geese etc
lately i've heard of some new ones that are better (these are all true) at describing the object
a murder of crows
a shrewdness of apes
a destruction of wildcats
a coalition of cheetahs
a business of ferrets
a skulk of foxes
a bloat of hippo
a leap of leopards
a crash of rhino
a raft of seals
an ambush of tigers
a sneak of weasels
a chatter of budgies
a parliament of owls
a pride of peacocks
a conspiricy of ravens
a kaleidescope of butterflies
a clutch of car mechanics
an eloquence of lawyers
a number of mathematicians
an asylum of microsoft programmers
a hangout of naturists
a ponder of philosophers
a gang of hoodlums
a thicket of idiots
a cloud of bats
a prickle of porcupines
an intrusion of cockroaches
a flight of dragons
an audience of listeners
a converting of preachers
a sneer of butlers
a shrivel of critics
a prudence of vicars
a blast of hunters
an aganda of tasks
but in my opinion there are some missing that need a collective noun like
a hug of teddy bears
a pack of suitcases
a ring of phones
a compromise of middle men
a giggle of teenage girls
a strut of teenage boys
a padding of footballers
a flush of plumbers
a cabbage of vegetarians
a strike of bowlers
a kiss of lovers
a stress of teachers
a smug of lottery winners
anybody got any they would like to see included?

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
