Handel - Did he invent the sing-a-long show?<br />5. Gertrude Greer - I can't remember the names of those people who wrap buldings in silk or aluminum.<br />6. French Foreign Legion - but only men, they don't let women join<br />7. Edwin Erlenmeyer, the inventor of the graduated erlenmeyer flask.<br />8. Deconstructionalism<br />9. I want to say Carthage, but I think that was in Phonecia not there, and the letters were to the Corinthians, except I'm sure Corinth is better known for the leathers than the letters, and anyway how would I know WHICH town when the hints are for the city it stands near?<br />10. Darn, I recently read something that mentioned the term "whale-road." The author was more enamoured of the term than am I. But I'm blanking on appropriate texts. Beowulf seems too old, but it's the best I can offer.Aviatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634111275860140084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-50782572868638264972011-08-10T14:29:02.816-07:002011-08-10T14:29:02.816-07:001.

Incidentally, I star...Wow, this one is really hard. Incidentally, I started at the bottom and worked my way up.<br /><br />1. I was going to say "Kafka" but I think he's German or something, and was more of a writer anyway, but then I remembered Kirkegaard (sp?), which sounds much more correct.<br /> <br />2. At first, the letters looked almost Korean to me, but this is a "J" letter, and there are no little "|O" s in the letters. Gotta go with Japan. Who does stylized letters well.<br /><br />3. India and China are #s 1 & 2, so, staying in that part of the world, I'm going with Indonesia.<br /><br />4. Handel rhymes with Candle, so I'm going with that.<br /><br />5. Argh! Art/Music questions are the bane of my existence. So, I'll have to throw out some random artist with a "G" name. But I'm sure it's not Gaugin. I don't think it's Georgia O Keefe, either. I don't know who Godel is, or if said berson is an artist, but that name is in the book Godel Esher Bach, and that's as good as any, and these have a weird "mathy" look to them. So, Godel. With an umlaut. <br /><br />6. The French Foreign Legion! And I know that because the wonderful Epic Comics Graphic Novel series "Alien Legion" from the 80s was based off of it.<br /><br />7. Yuck, another Art/Music question. Give me Science, Geography, or Antiquities any day. Is he the guy that did the "Pomp and Circumstance Marches? E...Enigma-man...Ereshkigal, Enkidu, Euler, Erasmus, Erichthonius, Einstein, Eritrea, Eris, encephalitis, gimme some Enspiration...a composer that starts with "E"...is it a first name? Eric/h something... Eugene.. Edward... I can't remember the name of the Pomp and Circumstance guy from the Clockwork Orange Soundtrack, but I'm sure it's him.<br /><br />8. I could be a smart-ass and say "Derridation", but since I don't *really* have anything other that an educated guess into the mysterious realm of English Pedagoguey (sp?), I'm going to have to say "Deconstruction".<br /><br />9. Duh, Corinth, that buffer between Sparta and Athens.<br /><br />10. The kenning is a give-away. It might be some obscure Scandanavian offering, but the big bad Beowulf has the right letter.Voron Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10926495951830978833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-32821764320333338072011-08-10T01:00:50.492-07:002011-08-10T01:00:50.492-07:001.
