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 ....

An apology and correction

The response to Gusset Login's question some time ago - 'Made by Man?', should have been 'YES - to some extent'. I don't think it's actually put you much off the scent.

irach

Pompeii ash?

jim

Or the casts of the victims buried by Pompeii ash?

ImNotJohn

Nearly there

[irach] Put that cigarette out! - NO
[jim] Casts of victims - YES, but still needs a bit more precision

irach

"Pompeii Plaster Casts" of victims

ImNotJohn

So close

[irach] You need to consider the answer to one of CdM's questions. If yours had been the words on the card I would have given the baton to jim.

FGZstar

The reconstruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum?

jim

So we're talking a specific cast of a specific victim, then?

FGZstar

A plaster cast of a man-made object?

irach

The man made plaster cast of the "Dog of Pompeii"?

ImNotJohn

To cut to the chase:
irach has it. It is The dog of Pompeii
I feel I lost the plot a bit there in that, although I knew when I set it that the object was a plaster cast of the natural void where the dog had been, I got that confused with a petrified object in some answers. Sorry.

A plaster cast of where a baton once was is passed on to irach.
