#7 is wrong. Think modern and National Public Radio.
#3 A feline is a cat, folks. What killed the cat? Wasn't there a shop for that?
#5 Green Hell is what explorers call the Matta Grasso, the most dangerous part of the Amazon Rainforest. You go in, but you likely don't come out. What is another word for Rainforest?
#7 The author has a Sunday comedy variey show on National Public Radio, in which he never fails to mention this place in Minnesota.
The next Baker's Dozen awaits, and the next, and the next.....http://www.smileyville.net/mellow/mf_sherlock.gif
I don't suppose number 5 is Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, is it?

Yeah-ha! Off and smoking!http://www.smileyville.net/babygoat/34.gif
Well, it WAS a bestseller, although I think I tossed my copy for being boring. Garrison Keillor's NPR show, A Prairie Home Companion is sometimes good, sometimes not so good, but his sections on Lake Woebegone stink. He has also written The Book of Guys, another bestseller, which I also tossed after finding it in a used book store, signed. Sorry, Scher!Quote:

Sadly, your other guess is miles off. I don't think Avalon is in the Bible. :) :angel:

You surprise me, Scher. I wasn't expecting anyone to get The Quiet American
Ugly Weed, eh. Not this one from this old rhyme I trust, but it may give you a chuckle: :p :p
Tobacco is a dirty weed. I like it.
It satisfies no normal need. I like it
It makes you thin, it makes you lean,
It takes the hair right off your bean.
It's the worst darn stuff I've ever seen.
I like it.
- Graham Lee, Hemminger, (1896-1949)
