It goes four out of five, so the Archer gets his aim back! I don't recall a book about the Greek Philosopher/Scientist's Lunch, no! :lol: The others are BULLSEYES!Quote:

Well, Eva, you managed to trap me again! I shall have to give you #10 even though it's not the book I had in mind because it fits the given clue! The book I was looking for is Ironweed by William Kennedy. This plant is so common around here, I never thought about any other plant. #7 is spot-on! DOUBLE-SHOT!Quote:

Hmm. Perhaps someone should write Archimedes's Lunch--that'd be bound to catch someone's eye in the library...Quote:

PS: I was just wondering if you are of Native American blood from your nickname Crow Boy? I am 1/8 Cherokee myself. http://www.websmileys.com/sm/dressed/bek127.gif
Nope.
We live in North-eastern Europe, in Estonia.
We have the nick Crow Boy because of a book called "Someplace to be Flying" It was the book of December 2005 in Book Club
Cool! There is a tribe of Native Americans called Crow, that's why I asked. Estonia, eh. Wow. I'm getting to know the world, I think on this forum! I'm in America, SW VA, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. 50 miles as the Crow flies will put you in three different states. "If the Crow has to walk", as we say around here, it'll take a little longer to reach West Virginia, but North Carolina and Tennessee are almost exactly 50 miles. ;)Quote:
