Snodgrass

A gaseous or vaporous form of a liquid?

all

[Snodgrass] The part of the non-solid mineral item that is not liquid is a gaseous or vaporous form of the liquid.

Inkspot

The boiling point of water?

Snodgrass

Does this object have a medical purpose?

all

[Inkspot] 100 degrees Centigrade, which has nothing to do with this.
[Snodgrass] I can think of no medical use for it.

Raak

A quantity of mud which, when thrown at a wall, will leave some still adhering?

all

[Raak] In what way is that an Abstract. And what kind of mud do you get 'round there? All the mud I've seen is viscous rather than gaseous or vaporous.

Raak

Are the solid, liquid, and vaporous parts, different states of the same substance?

Inkspot

Is it a phrase to decribe a change in state?

all

[Raak] The solid part is a different substance. The vaporous and liquid parts are different states of the same substance.
[Inkspot] No.

Inkspot

Is the man made object a building or structure?

Darren

Is the solid part artificial stone, such as concrete?

all

[Inkspot] No.
[Darren] Yes

I will probably be away from Thursday to Tuesday. Therefore I will now provide a number of broad hints:
1 The liquid is water, but not refered to as water
2 The solid is found in most kitchens in the UK
3 Remember this is a phrase or saying that includes the names of the two items.

[Snodgrass] No.

Snodgrass

Solid = Pottery of some kind?

Snodgrass

[Snodgrass] Is it's container what?

Snodgrass

Is the solid item referenced known for containing something? (Pot, Jar, Kettle like)

all

[Snodgrass] Yes.

Snodgrass

A Pot Boiler?

Inkspot

Is it ia phrase like, The kettle calling the pot black?

Inkspot

A whistling kettle?

but boiling water has already been dismissed whatever it is, is at alower temp, presumably

Inkspot

Condensation on a wine chiller?

But this can be seen so thats not right

all

[Snodgrass] A what? No
[Inkspot] It is a phrase. But not that one.
[Inkspot] No.
[Inkspot Clone III] No

Where else do you find water vapour and liquid water treated as a single event Think about it don't expect the answer to just drop on your head.

Snodgrass

Are we talking steam here?

[Snodgrass] No.
[Darren] No

Gusset Login

Snodgrass

A St-Cloud Porceline Tea Pot

Snodgrass

I meant porcelain of course but I'm losing touch with reality!

all

[sadie] Well I'm not bluddy doing it.

Snodgrass

The Easter Bunny?

If you really dont have time I have one - but I'm not forcing myself on anyone you understand. Its ANIMAL, MINERAL AND ABSTRACT

Gusset Login

The Borg?

A silly guess to start of with, I don't have time to win either

Darren

Is this a tangible thing?

I assume we're going with Snodgrass here.

Gusset Login

[Darren] Since I happen to have sadie on my contact list and therefore know he's gone and won't be back for a week. I think it's best we did.

Snodgrass

Animal, Mineral and Abstract then...

[Darren] Not really although some would claim it was

Snodgrass

all

Is it humanoid?

Snodgrass

[all] Yes the Animal reference is human, and not humanoid

all

Is it fictional?

I thought all humans were humanoid

Snodgrass

[all] Not strictly fictional but it does appear in fiction
(I took humanoid to be alluding to something of a human form but not actually human - like a Cyborg or other robot.)
