Needs words for Hangman - easy points!

[Cynical]

OK!

I have recently finished a Hangman game that I've been working on for quite a while now and now I just need some word lists to distribute with the game. That's wher YOU come in. All you need to do is think of a category, then 40-100 words to fill in that category. You are awarded 100 points + 1 point for each word (ie. a category with 61 words earns you 161 points). I need ten categories. You are more than welcome to create more than one category.

After you've come up with a category and the list, please post them here using this template:

Category:
One sentence description:
Words:

PLEASE BE AWARE that after I give you the points for your work, the lists are my property. You will get credit in the game but you will have no legal ownership of the file (not that you really can own words anyways ;)).

Thanks,
--Cynical

SEÑOR, something tells me you're copying these from somewhere... but I don't really care :P. I'll use your Animals one, and perhaps a shortened version of your Cola Products one, but probably as an external download from my site (I'll still give ya points for it). 200 [2 categories] + (183 words x 1 point each) + (150 points) = 533 points.

Spartan, great idea. Nice mix between easier and harder words: 100 + (97 words x 1 point each) = 197 points

fedlerner, thank god, finally someone made a non-impossible word pack :P 100 + (118 words x 1 point each) = 218 points (I messed up the first time so you are getting two seperate donations, one for 118 and one for 100).

I forgot to mention before that words can only be letters and spaces, though I thought that was given. Also, words cannot be more than 22 letters and spaces long, but don't worry too much about that .

Thanks again, all three of you. I know have six categories, I'll accept four more .
