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 ....

Can this be used to help people in everyday life?

CdM

Any connection with economics?

CdM

Connected to economics? No.

Is it lickable wallpaper?

CdM

Lickable wallpaper? Nope. Not abstract enough.
When I was originally thinking of setting this I wanted to describe it simply as "this has animal, vegetable and mineral connections". Then I descided that it was still technically abstract.

Is colour involved?

CdM

Colour? No.

Brioche?

I'm sure I've seen an episode of QI in which Stephen Fry said that Marie Antoinette actually said "Let them eat Brioche, and so I wonder if that is the thing you are referring to?

CdM

Brioche? No. *another smattering of applause*. A reminder that the words on the card refer to something abstract, however.
As for let them eat brioche, I have seen that too. However, I actually ended up researching* that story recently, and discovered that historians think it unlikely that Marie Antionette actually said anything of the sort.

A croissant?

I did see something about a mathematical formula for a croissant shaped tissue expander, and thought it could maybe be that.

CdM

Croissant? No . *the smatterers provide another smatter, but more out of habit than anything else*
