I need to 1) extract the definition of 'abucus'(see the following) from 
this page:

abacus (n.) A manual computing device consisting of a frame holding 
parallel rods strung with movable counters.
abacus (n.) A slab on the top of the capital of a column.

2)download the 'wav' file for this word and save it to my computer(so 
that I can play it later).

Since I have a little bit experience with Hpricot I think  using Hpricot 
might help me extract the definition of 'abacus'. But I am not sure if 
Mechanize can do the same thing. This is the reason I want to try 
Hpricot.

Thanks,


Li
