mc5 - Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Abstract: The Pants Memorial Game

The chairperson selects an object/idea/whatever and announces whether it's animal, vegetable, mineral, and/or abstract. The others have to ask questions to figure out what it is. Whomever guesses the object correctly is given the chair for the next round; repeat ad nauseam.

LotUS

Is it musical ability?

Sorry for jumping in again like this.

Kayl - 1) YES, 2) YES.
Raak - 1) It does involve writing but it is not calligraphy (I think this is slightly different from your interpretation of my answer - 'calligraphy' is not the answer, however, this thing can be expressed using calligraphy. 'Words' is a little more complex - it is involved in words but is not a word if you see what I mean...
Raak - 2) no.
Riff - not really.
Inkspot - not positive or negative.
LotUS - 1) no. 2) no.(Keep jumping in!)

Raak

The Koran?

Riff

Is it the alphabet?

Or if not the alphabet itself, is it a particular letter?
[Raak] It's not religious.

Riff

Er, since you've said there's more than one type, maybe I should specify our alphabet, as distinct from, say, the Chinese one.
