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.

Is it a living creature?
we'll start nice and simple
Is the whole thing an animal?
though I do fancy a leg of lamb this Sunday.
Is ia an Aardvaark?
I've got this Wildlife dictionary on my lap, you see.....
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. -:)
An air breather?
(Rosie) yes, I am aware of Boyle's Law, STP and such stuff (I did study Chemistry at uni), that's why I gave the clue as abstract because the answer was more 'the concept of the boiling point of water' rather than an actual figure (which would be an accepted standard against an arbitrary scale). Which is also part of why expected wrangling to take place.
LotUS - NO. Inkspot - whole thing YES - but an animal [as opposed to a human] NO. Kim - NO! Rosie - YES. Bob - Not any more, obviously.
Wrangling is good.
John Wayne?
are they recently deceased (last 20 years)?
Is it Otzi the Bog Man?
A mummy?
addendum
That is, not one's mother, you uderstand.
Is it fictitious?
BobtheDog - No. LotUS - No. Raak - if I didn't know better I would say you're being a silly-billy :-) Software - No and No. Darren - No.
sorrysorrysorry Raak - please forgive me for poaching your water.
Darren - if it WERE fictitious, wouldn't that make it abstract?

Oh, by the way, I wouldn't call a fictitious person or animal necessarily abstract.
Albert Johnson, the Mad Trapper of Rat River?
Malcom X?
Thinking that he may be born in America but perhaps considers themselves to be maybe Hispanic or Jewish or black / American
DrQ - by parentage YES. Bob - not really known as such, but IMHO he WAS entertaining as a person. Tuj - YES. Darren - see DrQ. Raak - I'm SO sorry - how can I make it up to you . .
