Lettris
Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.
boggle
Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !

European Parliament election constituencies, 2009
Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are elected by the population of the member states of the European Union (EU), divided into constituencies.
In six EU member states (Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, Poland and the United Kingdom), the national territory is divided into a number of constituencies. In the remaining member states, the whole country forms a single constituency. In Germany, political parties are entitled to present lists of candidates either at Länder or national level.
Currently, all member states hold elections to the European Parliament (EP) using various forms of proportional representation.[note 1]
The number of representatives per head of population varies widely across constituencies. For example, 75,000 German speaking Belgians have one representative, while Sardinia and Sicily have one seat for every 943,000 people.
