A Conversation for The h2g2 Word of the Day (Discontinued)

My suggestion for a WOTD:
Zoetrope: a large thin circular disk that is able to freely rotate. Pictures are painted along the circle, and when viewed with a strobe light, the pictures appear to be moving if the disk is spinning.
Sure, probably not the best definition, but still an awesome word (and toy)
Also, maybe a text box on the page instead of posting replies would be better for this page, that way comments like "awesome idea!" aren't lost among the flow of new words.
Key: Complain about this post
