Making Light:  Logic Puzzle (Open Thread 90) ::: September 06, 2007, 03:45 PM

Okay, that's the backlog.  Just a few extras and echoes.

In #683 I mentioned my bike accident.  I didn't notice the date until
after I posted it.  That accident was six years ago today.  In #686,
ethan claims that "e" is the vowel to end all vowels..  I don't think
all vowels ends with what he thinks it does.  If we get classical,
though, "litteratur\303\246 semivocal\303\246" ends with "\303\246",
which looks especially nice upside-down.  Speaking of which, "ethan"
spelled upside-down is "ueyta", which not only ends with a vowel,
it dang well do begin with un.  (Please don't take my interest in
upside-down spelling as some sort of disrespect.  Consider my e-mail
address).

Ethan also asks, seriously or not, "Hey, does that lessen the number
of clues needed?"  Uuu....

Greg (#695) mentioned, of Ms. Upton's poise, "As it is, she got an A+
in looking good and an F in addressing a real problem."  Which was the
point of my Attorney General remark.  Nonetheless, I think that an
eighteen-year-old might be cut some slack in deciding that you've got
to give up and ask to have the question repeated, especially on her
first Teevee appearance (which she said it was on the "Today" segment.
But maybe I'm being overcredulous).  Thanks to Peter Erwin (#696) for
clarifying the demographic question.

Dave Bell (#702)  I think you want "inculcated".

Mary Dell (#703)  we're all facetious, of course, and I understood
what you meant.  I was just saying that "dysmorphia" would have to be
about bad shape.  "Eumorphia" would be good shape, while "anamorphia"
would be distorted shape.

abi (#708)  You wrote the sonnet?  I thought you wrote the double
dactyl?  Or is #640 a sonnet in disguise?  I have to thank you for
it, in any case, along with Xopher for #699.  We can only hope.
