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.

O wow!

I'll admit that although I climbed on the shoulders of the estimable Raak for the final thrust - I did work hard on that one [witness - nauseating number of questions] so I don't feel too abashed.

'the sublimation point of iodine'

LotUS] be glad you did not opt for Boolbars suggestion.

OK - New One - *A N I M A L*

Bring on the questions . . .

LotUS

Is it a living creature?

we'll start nice and simple

Inkspot

Kim

Is ia an Aardvaark?

I've got this Wildlife dictionary on my lap, you see.....

Rosie

Human?

(LotUs) Iodine doesn't have a sublimation point (at atmospheric pressure). Melts at 114°C and boils at 184°C. And I hope you've specified a pressure for the boiling point of water. At the top of Everest water boils at 70°C at which temperature it takes several days (by extrapolation) to boil an egg and tea is crap. Sorry to be such an arse-aching pedant but I've got a reputation to keep up. -:)
