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 ....

A leader?

CdM

Does the vegetable connection refer to a specific vegetable (such as a single identified tree, for example)?

jim

[Leader] The person in question could certainly be considered a leader, but if you mean to ask if he is principally known as the leader of some group, nation, army etc., the answer is no.
[Specific vegetable] No.
I should clarify that when I say that the name of the human does not appear on the card, I mean precisely that. It would not be unnatural to describe the thing in terms of the person, but the name of the thing as I am envisaging it on the card does not contain the person's name.

FGZstar

IS it relating to a specific type of vegetable?

Juxtapose

Is the human fictional?

jim

[Specific type of vegetable] No.
[Fictional human] No.

CdM

Was the human involved in the invention or creation of the thing?

Tuj

Was this thing invented?

(rather than, say, discovered)

jim

[Human involved] Yes. Some murmurs of appreciation from the crowd
[Invented] I'm not sure "invented" is the right word, but it was more invented than discovered, although there is a strong connection to discovery.

FGZstar

Is the vegetable connection in regards to its shape?

jim

[Shaped like a vegetable] No.

jim

(In the sense that the thing can be said to have a shape, which is debatable.)

Tuj

Was it "invented" in the last century?

(assuming that question makes sense)

jim

[Last century] It did not come into being during the 20th century.
