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.

Inkspot

Would its primary use be for a particular profession(al).

[Boolbar] You can, but I believe we have established that the primary purpose of this thing is not for the act of communication.
[Chalky] Yes.
[Inkspot] No.

Raak

Is it a machine for making something?

Lib

even though its primary function is not for communication, can you use it to communicate?

Boolbar

When in use, is it noisy?

That is, would it be obviously making a noise if you where (say) 20 feet away.

rab

[Raak] I'll give a clue here - it is not used to manufacture something from raw materials, but it is a machine that processes something.
[Lib] Well, you could but I wouldn't sniff round this hole if I were you.
[Boolbar] No.

Boolbar

Is it a barcode reader?
