36 pages of word rebuses.

For those who like puzzles. I am making a whole bunch of "word rebuses". It's a term for a word or phrase put in a rebus style and try to guess what it is. For example, "Aaaaaaaaaalbuquerque" would be "tenacity" (ten a's+ a city.) My goal is to create 36 pages' worth and put them all together in a book. So far I'm on page 14. I stopped working on this for a long time, but I've picked this project back up. It'll be a perfect change of pace from programming.

It seems like every time I program something, something goes wrong, and I yell and scream. But I have to take care of my niece's pet rabbit for a few days, and since I don't want to scare the poor thing with my yelling and screaming because it will probably be scared already, I thought I'd work on something that won't make me yell and scream. For example, I discovered a bug in my Game Gear game that I had trouble fixing but I think I did. I don't know how I didn't notice it until now. Oh well.

So when my book gets all done, I'll offer it on my webpage for free to download. The answers will all be in the back of the book. I estimate there will be about 400 puzzles in all. I was going to call the book "Attack of the Wuzzles," but the term "Wuzzle" was trademarked by some company that apparently likes to make word rebuses. So I'm thinking of the title "Word Rebi" for now.
