You don't get any points for an anagram that is not also a pun. You could
try calling him a "pliant dace" if you think his scales are askew, or
perhaps advise him to visit a "tepid canal" if you suspect his hearing is
overheated.

Possibly, but the Brownies are mine for *appositeness*, I think....

Ya think? Maybe you should explain what "pedal antic" means then. A
reference to a circus clown riding a unicycle, maybe?

Or is that "apposition"? For that aged effect just supply him
"pantiled AC" and you should be there.

Did you miss this bit: "When I'm feeling really pedantic I cycle seven miles
to the public library to consult the full 24 volume edition." in the post I
was replying to..???

The Brownies are still mine....

(More than ever now... :-)

Why haven't you been murdered?

No reason.

I'm sure it's because the bounty is not high enough. I suggest raising it
to $10 US.




Didn't say that George- why do you choose to attribute it to me?

Not playing - my anagram was my own (as, I suspect, was yours), but I'm
advised 'tepid canal' (along with 'acid planet', 'lead catnip', data pencil'
and gawd knows how many others) are easily 'computer generated...???

Takes the fun out of it....

Poopie is bemused.

And what noun does perpendicular come from ?

You've heard the term "three square meals", I presume. It comes from
"preprandial".

Absence of answer noted.

There really should be a suitable perpend but it's not so.

per·pend1
–noun
a large stone passing through the entire thickness of a wall.

per·pend2
–verb (used with object)
1. to consider.
–verb (used without object)
2. to ponder; deliberate.

Doesn't work.

professional gravitas.

Graham is a sour old man. There comes an age where some kind of man can
only feel alive by criticizing others. For this kind, it comes very early;
for others, late, and for the young at heart, never. Let us use Graham as
an example of what to avoid becoming. Let us hold him up as something to
avoid.

those of use who are not mechanical or structural engineers will almost
certainly not be familiar with timmy's strength of materials.
electrical engineers are not required to study structures at length.

Jason

In a good school, the first year physics course touches on many things,
including the static strength of materials. Given that Andre's focus has
been primarily in the arts, his familiarity is impressive. It comes from
making self education a part of one's life.



Nicely put....

You expect some kind of logic from Georgina ?
