Here we go: Huxley - No; Raak - No; Bob the Dog - Not really; Inkspot - Yes; Boolbar - Yes; Chalky - Yes; rab - No (but then some of its constituent parts are); Martha - No; Raak - No; Ibid - You'd probably be fairly pleased if you did own it; Ibid - No (simple answer); Kayl - I'd say it can be quite a noisy thing; Bob - Hello *waves*; Ibid - No.
Phew.

Hmmm, let's try again, shall we -

rab

Is it one of the seven wonders of the world?

Is it an island?

Does it have moving parts?

Tuj

Is it in Europe?

Don't see how it could have existed pre-1900 and still have edible parts...

Tuj - No

[Tuj] But that's going on the strict interpretation of your phrasing. The fairest answer is 'It was'.

rab

Is it large, compared to a telephone box?

Is it a coach and horses?

Is it the Last Supper?

Inkspot

Is it a collection of items given a single name?

Something akin to the Elgin Marbles

Martha Farquar

Is it safe?

rab - Definitely; Raak - No and No; Inkspot - In a way it is; Inkspot - Not really; Martha - Umm

[Martha] There's no easy way to answer that with a 'yes' or 'no' without being completely misleadng. I would have to answer, in fairness, though, "Probably not by today's general standards".
