You're on the right track, but I'm looking for a Michael Crichton novel.

What's that dance that people do, where they all get in a line and go around the room?

Oooh! *gasps* Congo

DOUBLE-SHOT! I thought of using "dueling banjos" as the clue for #7, but wasn't sure that everyone would know about that! http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/spezial/Fool/bis.gif

First, a big WELCOME to the thread! #2 is correct! #6 isn't. Nanners: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Sadly, although I collect Piers Anthony's Xanth series, I have never heard of the book you mention. Sorry. It's probably good! ;) :nod:

Thanks for the welcome! I like P.A. too, it's just been a while since I've read him... I was thinking prostho=prostate!:) and plus is just obvious. oh well...
