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.

Microsoft?
[Brendan] No, but a rather amusing suggestion nonetheless.
Is it "The Thing" from The Fantastic Four?
[Kim] No
Is the animal part Human?
Is it humanoid?
[all] Yes the Animal reference is human, and not humanoid
Is it fictional?
I thought all humans were humanoid
[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.)
Are they male?
[Inkspot] Yes
Connected to religion?
[Darren] No
Was he born before 1850?
[Inkspot] It is thought so Yes!
Has he had something named after him?
[Inkspot] Yes.
Is the mineral part something manmade?
Frankenstein's Monster?
[Brendan] No not literally although the phrase might suggest otherwise, but then the abstract part kicks in
[Chalky] No
Is "he" a better pronoun to use than "they"?
Was he a Greek philosopher?
[Darren] Yes
[Inkspot] No
A small clue - The phrase is essentially Abstract with Animal and Mineral references
Is it the name of a place?
[Inkspot] Yes, but with an abstract slant to it.
The Man in the Moon?
Was the person referred to an author or poet?
[Bigsmith] No but you have the right kind of idea
[Inkspot] No
St. Peter at the Pearly Gates?
Confused!So the person is ficticious and the place real, I thought it were the other round, ho hum.
[Inkspot] Not St Paul and not the Pearly Gates
We are looking for a place, which exists but is itself abstract, and references a persons name in the way, say, The Heights of Abraham or Jacobs Ladder does. The person may well have been real but there is no certainty of that. There is also a mineral reference. How go to it!
Is the person a saint?
Was he a King?
Arthur's Camelot?
