  15. Yeah, if you're going to delay the results show due to something silly like... being out of the state or some such nonsense, then I'm going to change my answer for number 1 to "steam engine" due to my first answer being.... uh...wrong.

  16. Huh! Now that you point it out, I haven't seen him for a few days...;)

  17. Yeah, well be careful - I was having dinner a few nights back at a friend's house across the continent from the City of Roses(someone who knows him from a previous life)and damned if that crazy SOB M5K didn't walk right into the house, much to my surprise. So, be sure to lock your doors!

  18. Hey! I'm back!

    1. This is your basic Steam Engine. I'm going to have to toss out internal combustion engine, since it's, well, not. The combustion takes place offstage, in a boiler. I'm going to take "flywheel," though. And I think I'm going to call "engine" insufficiently specific. Arguably, I'm a big meanie.

    2. That's a sewing machine, yo.

    3. That's the gizmo in your toilet tank. It's called a "ballcock." Stop sniggering, Pearson.

    4. Spark plug!

    5. Watch!
