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 ....

Projoy

Superlative in any respect?

Projoy

(physically, I mean)

Dujon

Is this a specific tree-y object (as opposed to a unique family or grouping)?

ImNotJohn

[Projoy] x-est? - YES *prolonged applause*
[Dujon] Specific tree? - YES

ImNotJohn

Apologies for infrequent responses - heavy decorating weekend, and discovered the wireless router only works properly when it's in the room we've stripped out.

jim

Is it notable for its age?

Projoy

"Methuselah" the bristlecone pine from California?

ImNotJohn

We have a winner

Projoy has it - it is Methuselah - the current oldest known living tree (I would have accepted that as an answer). After his efforts in the last few, I regard that as well-deserved.
One slightly bristly baton passed on

Projoy

Timber!

Phew. Glad to have finally felled one after so long (altho as with Akond of Swat, I wouldn't have gotten "Rosie" very quickly, if at all, using the deductive method. Still enjoyed both tho).

This one is VEGETABLE and/or ABSTRACT (and topical). Probably a bit of mineral involved too, but unlikely to help.
