Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Abstract: The Pants Memorial Game
help
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.

Hole punch?
Ring binder?
Is it human-powered?
all - has it! Cheers and whoops from audience!

Over to you all!

At f*r*i*g last!
This one is an ANIMAL, and hopefully will be easier to guess
Human animal?
Come on now, it wasn't that difficult!
[Software] Yes - It took a long time to work out, that makes it difficult
Alive?
IMO
[S'ware] The 'Animal' part was superfluous and misleading. Many examples of this type of equipment have been posted as the 'object' in the past - simply as Mineral. You replied to my earlier question [and I quote] "Because nobody has asked the right questions." I completely disagree.
[Kim] No
Brutus? (of "et tu" fame)
'cos it's always fun to start with a completely random guess.
A certain individual animal?
Chinese?
Well, it's a one in five chance!?
Did they die before 1900?
Male?
[Brenda] No - but it was worth a shot
[Raak] Yes - an individual dead human (see above)
[Tuj] No
[Ink] Yes
[Snodster] No - I'm fairly certain she wasn't
Were they born before 1500?
[Inkspot] No
Religious figure?
Was he a scientist?
[Brendan] No
[Inkspot] No, and as said before not a 'he'
Joan of Arc?
[Software] No, Joan of Arc was born before 1500
Mary Shelley?
Just testing ;)
[Inkspot] No
Was she born before 1800?
[Inkspot] Yes
Is she an author?
Elizabeth I?
Was she a religious figure?
[Inkspot] She isn't. She wasn't famous for being an author.
[Raak] No, but you're think on the right lines.
[Kim] See the answer I gave when Brendan asked that.
[Raak] I meant thinking not think obviously
Mary, Queen of Scots?
[snorgle] No
Was she European, other than British?
[Inkspot] No
Was she a royal of some description?
just trying to clarify what "along the right lines" means (couldn't be Queen V herself, of course, since she died in 1901 ...)
Was she associated with royalty, without being royalty herself?
Lady Jane Grey
[Brendan] Yes (It also couldn't be Queen V because she wasn't born before 1800)
[Raak] At one time
[Inkspot] No.
If not an author, a diarist Elizabeth Pepys?
Nell Gwynne?
[Inkspot] No.
[Kim] No.
One of Henry VIII's wives?
Queen Anne?
[all] For some reason I read the wrong answer, and thought you'd said "No" to born pre-1800 ... Doh!
Mary wife of William III (of Orange)?
[Raak] Yes
[Braendan] You are so very close - We can all make mistakes
[Inkspot] No
Anne Boleyn?
[Brendan] Yup.

Audience - Cheers and Adulation for Brendan
OK, let's have a MINERAL/VEGETABLE (with ABSTRACT overtones). If it becomes obvious that this classification is confusing people, I'll give some pointers ...
Is it made of wood?
And metal?
A painting?
Is the vegetable, paper?
[all] in part, but probably not a large part (NB: I am considering "made of wood" to mean dead wood in some way arranged by humans; ie in my definition a tree is not "made of wood" -- which I admit is eccentric)
[Software] probably in places, but it's not a major component
[Raak] No, but keep plugging at why it has abstract overtones
[Inkspot] No.
Half a dead cow in formaldehyde?
Is the vegtable part a tree?
Oops, ignore my last, dead cow isn't mineral or vegetable.
Half a dead tree in formaldehyde?
Is it unique?
[Raak] No, in either case. [all] Not "a" tree. [Inkspot] Yes.
Hyde Park?
Does the vegetable part involve more than one tree?
Is it a geographical landmark?
Is it a work of art?
[all] No.
[GL] Yes!
[Inkspot] No.
[Raak] The "it" you are looking for isn't, but a work of art (in the broadest sense) is involved.
Is it a forest?
Is it a real place mentioned in literature like Sherwood Forest?
[Tuj] Yes, but not just that.
[Inkspot] You're getting very close, but the answer to that particular question is No.
