    Riddle

    As the riddel post proved so popular and drove me into a state of clinical insanity I thought I would start up a new one:

    "Two words in the English language end in "-gry",
    viz. "angry" and "hungry". What is the third word
    in the English language that ends in "-gry" ?"

      ok you did a search on google as well!! hehe but I believe that those words are technically not proper words, ie you could not use them on a scrabble board...do not quote me on that.
