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.

Is it religious?

[all] No
Can it be percieved by any of the senses?

The cultural highlights of Blackpool?
[Raak] Er.... No. Come to think ofi it not can you name 3?
Can it be measured?
odd question following on from my last, but time can't be percieved by the senses and I'm still only 29....again!
God?
[S] I was there over Easter, and the words "culture" and "Blackpool" do not go together.
[Inkspot] No. But measures do exist for part of this in other contexts.
[Raak] No. (I assume God is still regarded as religious unless Blair has intervened. See earlier response.)
Magnetism?
Justice?
Is it a human concept?
Reverting to my standard opening.
Is it emotional?

Gloucestershireness?
[Tuj] No. Miles out but what an interesting guess!
Sorry about the smelling pistake in my last entry. I was using handwriting recognition on a palm top and it should have said Matthews!
Do other animals possess this quality?
[Software] No
Sentience?
[all] No
Is the answer a single word?
[GL] No, its 2
Is it an anthropomorphism?
[Inkspot] Not exactly but the answer may display some characteristics of this. I hope that is not mis-leading. There are better descriptions.

Assuming that animals can't have them?
[Software] Warm! but No
day dreaming?
[Inkspot] No, colder
Is it something the brain does?
clumsy question!
deja vu?
Have I already asked that earlier? or was that a different game?
Deja vu
I'm sure I saw you ask that... (joke) Is it a quaint old turn of phrase?
[Inkspot] No, well not exactly
[Inkspot revisited] No
[Tuj] No (I've had deja vu before you know)
Self-awareness?
[Software] No, but its that kind of expression.
Does it refer to the first person singular?
[Inkspot] I would say not!
Racial Memory
?
[all] No
Time for a clue?
Is it fictional?
Clue...oh yes please!
Intelligent Life?
Actually that wouldn't apply to humans either.
[Inkspot] In its context it may be thought of as fictional but not in a literary way.
[GL] No but you are so close I'm going to hold off on a clue save to say oxymoron.
Military Intelligence?
[Gusset Login] Y E S . Gusset Login has correctly guessed that the answer was Military Inteligence.

So when the frantic applause dies down its over to Gusset to entertain us with another conundrum!
Gusset Login
OK, time for a MINERAL
Time Warning
I will be leaving for the weekend in about an hour. Any questions not posted before then will be dealt with on Monday.

Good to see that the classic openings are still popular.

smaller than a shoe box?
Made of metal?
Is it a building?
[Bread] Yes

[plump] No
[Inks] Partly
[Raak] Most people would not count them as such
Is it bigger than a phonebox?
Does it run on electrical power?
Is it a cave?
[all] No
[Ink] Electrical power is involved, but it would most likely still function without an external power supply
[Kim] No
Is it actually a phone box?
[Snodgrass] OK that clearly wasn't as hard as I'd hoped, either that or people just knew which questions to ask.

SNODGRASS WINS

*Shouts, screams and generally goes wild for Snodgrass*
Oh, B****r, that was a pure guess, so thanks to [all] for the assist.
OK. So its thinking time again and the next item
ABSTRACT with Animal, Vegetable and Mineral influences
Is it the title of a piece of music?
stunning win snodgrass
[Inkspot] Why thank you - lucky guess really.
No. Not a misical piece, let me guess - were you thinking of The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy?
Is it the title of a piece of fiction?
[Snodgrass]Guess, perhaps, but still impressive.
[all] I owe it all to your previous question. No not fiction.
Is it a popular phrase or saying?
all has just confessed that he saw me write down the answer. (cheating little git)
[all] Shame on you !
[GL] Not popular, (as in Nice to se you, to see you Nice!) but I suppose it is a well known. phrase
Is it the Abominable Snowman?
[Kim] No. And unless he has a carrot for a nose I couldnt see a vegetable reference!

42?
[Raak] No, more Earthly than that
[all] No, too many
8?
[Tuj] No. Not 8. !?!
Less than 10?
[all] Assuming there is a numeric component, which you all seem to be, then Yes, it is less than 10 (in a One Flew Over The Cookoos Nest kind of way)
Is there a numeric component?
Given that you said 42 was too many it's safe to assume there is
[GL] Yes and may I refer the Honorable Gusset to the answer I gave a few moments ago (to all)
Is the numeric component larger than one?
Your response to the Dishonorable all stated that it was an assumption, I wished to have the point clarrified
