Fun physics? No. Fun life? No, although humans have and have had a great interest in the AOTC. It's not an occupation, either. Earthbound? So far as anyone knows, only on Earth.
Observable? There are observations of this occurring. Economic? No. Aristotelian? Didn't know him personally, but the concept was almost certainly around then.
Biology? Arguments start among the audience. Life and death and so forth are all biological, but this is not usually considered to be a biological process. Rebirth? No, but the audience really like it. Appreciation is shown.
It's not metamorphosis, enlightenment is nice but completely off beam, "renaissance" is a good try but "the Renaissance" is totally wrong. The audience are collecting tomatoes to throw.
Not cryonics, not rejuvenation, but definitely Resurrection! (We started this around Easter, so it seemed appropriate.) Congratulations to CdM, who gets to take this stone baton and roll it away. Don't forget to like, subscribe, or leave a review.
Fixed location? Interesting question. If I wanted to be tricky, I'd give a straightforward and honest answer of No. But a more helpful answer is: Yes, when understood in the context of the AOTC.
Vegetable that resembles non-vegetable? Resemble is a tricky word. I’d say more No than Yes as the word is typically used, but—stretching the meaning of resemble to its broader senses—you could plausibly say Yes.
As a ps to my answer to Tuj, the absence of a fixed location in general is certainly useful information as well.
Is it alive? No. But be careful about your assumptions. Associated with a particular season? No. * a certain tension in the air intimates that the audience almost wants to applaud but knows it shouldn’t* Legible? No.
Connected to a celebration? *considerable audience laughter*. I think I have to say No, though some might argue the point. Relevant to archaeology? No. Vegetable part edible? Yes. (And remember the whole thing is vegetable, not just part of it.) Was it art? *more laughter* Not in the conventional sense, No.
After your good start I am surprised this is taking so long. As a hint, you could always explore the animal connection further.
Named after a person? Strictly speaking, No. But Yes would actually be a more helpful answer. “The” is not in third place. I said it wasn’t “The X of Y”. For free, I’ll tell you “The King Edward potato” exactly corresponds to the AOTC, though I’ll mention again that other descriptions would be perfectly acceptable. The King Edward potato? No. I’ll also remind you that the AOTC is unique “of”-inclusive? No.
Vegetable = vegetable? Yes. The Liz Truss lettuce? Yes! Have this unconventionally shaped baton. It’s slightly brown on the edges, but still perfectly usable.
Thank you, though this baton is somewhat rotten on the inside. No similarity to any person, living or half-dead, is to be inferred. So let's relaunch with MINERAL with some VEGETABLE connotations.
Its purpose is not entertainment. It is located in the UK. It was built for transportation purposes. I'm not sure if it's regarded as old-fashioned. It's not a train.
It does not cross the river Forth. It is not on the A5. The name does supply a vegetable connotation. But it's such a punnish and abstruse one, that to be honest I can't recommend this line of investigation. It is not the Prince of Wales' bridge on the M4. It is not the Menai bridge. If you don't want a hint, read no further. Hidden textRemember that this is a mechanical device.
It is not a suspension bridge. Reconfiguration has me stumped. I think the best answer is No, but only because the standard functioning configuration defines its usage under all circumstances. But Yes might also be possible.
Right answer! A nice piece of engineering not far from me. Also an example of "The A-Road, Interrupted". Sadly it's out of service at the moment and could well never get back into operation. So congrats to Tuj, to whom the baton is being delivered via a gondola.
Is it the feeling of never having heard of the Tees Transporter Bridge then being amply compensated by having now heard of the Tees Transporter Bridge?
[SM] NO. If I'd set that and there wasn't a guess straight away, that could have taken years! [RTG] NO. Although, to be strictly honest, YES it can be linked. Hidden textThat feeling seems to me like something that might have been named by Liff, but it's possible my thoughts are being influenced by my main source of the feeling being my job QCing British geographic data!
[R] NO. Well, no more than your average abstract does. Or maybe slightly more. I need to ask a blind person! [CdM] NO. I *think* this one is inarguable!
If you were standing in front of Raak and Chalky, one of whom always tells the truth and the other of whom always lies, and both know the AOTC, and all of you know the foregoing but you do not know which one is the truth teller, and you were to ask Raak "if you asked Chalky if the AOTC begins with the letter P, is it the case that she wouldn't not say 'No'?", is it the case that he wouldn't not say yes?
[C] YES. Unless I've made a mistake! Are you? :P Hidden textIf I had chosen the AOTC to be something related to lying all the time, and gave the opposite answer to every question... that would have been very brave indeed! [SM] NO! Hidden textHonestly, NO!
[C] Interpreting that as asking whether this thing has always existed: YES. [B] NO. But the audience, who applauded the previous question, make appreciative noises.
[B] NO. [C1] YES is the useful answer. A strict and slightly tedious reading of your question could yield the answer NO. [C2] NO. (but good to know I got your logic question correct!) [R] YES, it seems, but probably not significantly for a very long time.
This AVMA seemed like an interesting idea when I thought of it, but in hindsight probably was a mistake. :) And my commitment to exemplifying the AOTC with my answers has left me unable to communicate any nuance in my responses. You are all being too specific; the AOTC is a general (and very simple concept) that is a feature of many of the guesses you have collectively made.
