You were pretty damn close. I think adept should give you a bonus point just for getting that close. :thumbs:

If a tree falls on a guy in the middle of the woods, and nobody is around, does he really get pissed?

Yes, unless he was the one who caused the tree to fall, in which case he is grateful nobody was around to see it. :D

Thanks for the moral support. I don't deserve any points though, you are the one that got all of them. Anyway, now we have a real race going on, where's Jaeger ?

Not a clue. I'm surprised I was able to answer any today. My boss kept coming in my office to talk to me about a wireless project I'm supposed to have done by the end of the day. Kind of distracting when I'm try to focus on something really important....solving these riddles before they give me a headache. :eek2:

It's sure hard to get in sometimes, there are some fast thinkers around here. That word question took longer because it really had 10 answers. My boss has been in meetings the past 2 days so I'm hanging around tending the shop (translation :waiting for new questions). ;)

"Larnynx" spelled correctly would still have been off, as the question required 4 letters to be added to formulate an answer. :D

Here's a poster to make him feel better.

What I meant was I would have known it wasn't the right word if I had spell checked it. Of course, I've never even heard the other word (pharnynx) before so I would have never got it right anyway. Thanks for the poster, though I'll only hang my head until lunchtime tomorrow. ;)
