From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Hunt the Wumpus
  
      (Or "Wumpus") /huhnt th* wuhm'p*s/ A famous
      family of computer games, dating back at least to 1972
      (several years before {ADVENT}) on the {Dartmouth Time-Sharing
      System}.
  
      Hunt the Wumpus was created by {Ken Thompson} on an early
      version of {Unix}.   It was created from a game in a children's
      magazine, and was made to give his young son something to do
      on the computer.
  
      The wumpus lived somewhere in a cave with the topology of an
      dodecahedron's edge/vertex graph (later versions supported
      other topologies, including an icosahedron and M"obius
      strip). The player started somewhere at random in the cave
      with five "crooked arrows"; these could be shot through up to
      three connected rooms, and would kill the wumpus on a hit
      (later versions introduced the wounded wumpus, which got very
      angry).   Unfortunately for players, the movement necessary to
      map the maze was made hazardous not merely by the wumpus
      (which would eat you if you stepped on him) but also by
      bottomless pits and colonies of super bats that would pick you
      up and drop you at a random location (later versions added
      "anaerobic termites" that ate arrows, bat migrations and
      earthquakes that randomly changed pit locations).
  
      This game appears to have been the first to use a non-random
      graph-structured map (as opposed to a rectangular grid like
      the even older Star Trek games).   In this respect, as in the
      dungeon-like setting and its terse, amusing messages, it
      prefigured {ADVENT} and {Zork} and was directly ancestral to
      both (Zork acknowledged this heritage by including a super-bat
      colony).   A port was distributed with {SunOS} and as
      {freeware} for the {Macintosh}.   There is a freeware {C}
      emulation of the original {Basic} game.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Handmaid
      servant (Gen. 16:1; Ruth 3:9; Luke 1:48). It is probable that
      Hagar was Sarah's personal attendant while she was in the house
      of Pharaoh, and was among those maid-servants whom Abram had
      brought from Egypt.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hunting
      mentioned first in Gen. 10:9 in connection with Nimrod. Esau was
      "a cunning hunter" (Gen. 25:27). Hunting was practised by the
      Hebrews after their settlement in the "Land of Promise" (Lev.
      17:15; Prov. 12:27). The lion and other ravenous beasts were
      found in Palestine (1 Sam. 17:34; 2 Sam. 23:20; 1 Kings 13:24;
      Ezek. 19:3-8), and it must have been necessary to hunt and
      destroy them. Various snares and gins were used in hunting (Ps.
      91:3; Amos 3:5; 2 Sam. 23:20).
     
         War is referred to under the idea of hunting (Jer. 16:16;
      Ezek. 32:30).
