ugh.. My english teachers would have a hissy fits over my typos/gramatical errors...

Let me rephrase that at least that one sentence:

"Well, challenges and growth come when you least expect them".

****

And since I'm here, here's a couple of new questions:

What Mudcatter is a ruler of a library in the hinterlands of the USA?

and

What Mudcatter has a name which pays homage to an animal that is highly regarded by ancient Europeans and Native Americans as well?

Non-game question: What's that Chinese saying about a challenge being an opportunity for growth or something like that?

Well, challenges and growth comes when you least expect it.

Thanks, folks, for "keepin it real".*

* "keepin it real" here means "keeping this game good fun & educational".

****

I'll put the corrections noted along with the new correct responses and any new questions in the next updated list.

[And since this is a non-game post, I can sign my name to this post if I wanna, and I wanna].

Positive vibrations!

Who or what is a duckdog?

A duckdog is a cross between a duck and a dog. The duckdog with whom most* Mudcatters are familiar is named Gluon. Gluon is a cross between a Mallard duck and an Airedale dog, which makes him a Mallairedale. Gluon has a one-word vocabulary, that one word being a cross between a quack and a bark, usually written as

QUARK!!!

However, Gluon is able to use subtle variances in tone and emphasis to communicate a universe of ideas using that single word. His posts are usually followed by a translation, as in:

QUARK!!!

(Translation: If you think tooth decay is a problem, just wait until you've experienced a bout or two of proton decay!)

Being both a duckdog and a subatomic particle at the same time and, therefore, able to manifest himself as either a particle or a wave, Gluon is not subject to many of the "laws" that govern normal states of being. We humans may not be able to know Gluon's location and velocity both at the same time, but Gluon always knows right where he is and precisely how fast he's going.

*"Most" is a relative term. In this instance it means more like "seven or eight".

#93 - I answered that one here

#132 - this has not been answered correctly. Madlion does not have the original spud. She has one of my beanbag spuds, but this is not the original. That is in the possession of another Mudcatter, as I intimated in a post above.

Keep up the good work. I love this thread.
