mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Raak

Is anyone offering one on eBay?

KagomeShuko

question - is this correct

Being American, mineral is something extremely specific. One site told me, "English people define everything as being either Animal (if it is alive) Vegetable (if it grows) or Mineral (if it isn't alive, doesn't grow and comes from the ground.)"

Simons Mith

[Rosie, concentration] Not really.

[Boolbar, fixed] Yes. You won't find any flying ones.

[Raak, eBay] No.

[KagomeShuko, minerals] I'd say that's a reasonable usage for this game. But a dead cat is still animal, and oxygen is still mineral even though it doesn't come out of the ground.

Superman

Does it have a common use?

Simons Mith

[Superman, common use] Yes.

Raak

Do people usually make these themselves?

Simons Mith

[Raak, self-made] No.

Raak

A natural phenomenon?

KagomeShuko

Is it a bomb shelter? A septic tank? A port-a-potty?

Simons Mith

[Raak, natural] No, man-made.

[KagomeShuko] No, no, and thrice no. But those are the closest guesses yet.

Boolbar

Bollards.
