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.

Zooological Keeper

Is it the mind?

As technically speaking, the mind is not regarded as animal (apparently)

Breadmaster

Was it ever thought of before the seventeenth century?

Boolbar

Another day, another question.

[Tuj] No.
[Zooo Keeper] No.
[Breadmaster] Yes.

Raak

Manichaeanism?

Boolbar

Wot?

[Raak] *looks in a dictionary* No. This game is sure educational!

Raak

Is it connected with religion?

Boolbar

[Raak] No. It's a very general thing so I'm sure it could be said to be connected with lots of things if you really wanted to try and find connections.

Tuj

Do animals have this concept also?

Kim

Does it have its origins in philosophical writings?

Riff

Is it 'thought'?

"Manichaean (n): Someone from Manchester."

Boolbar

[Tuj] I wouldn't have thought so, but you never can tell . . .
[Kim] No.
[Riff] No.
BTW, saying that it is a human concept might lead you astray. If all life vanished from this planet (or any planet for that matter) then it could be argued that this concept still existed. A bit like the tree falling in the forest when there is no-one around making a sound.
