miamijimf Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Vicechic, you wrote "it was a living and breathing thing when it began its journey," but you also said it was neither animal or vegetable. I meant category. All living things are in the animal or vegetable category. Are you talking about a dead body or a body in suspended animation?

Administrators timm525 Posted August 21, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm assuming a plant is in the same category as a vegetable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicechic84 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 It's not a dead body nor is it a body suspended in animation Jim. It's not in the category of animal nor is it a vegetable. However, (and although it isn't one of these physically) Tim is a little closer with his 'plant' guess. It's in and around that family of 'living things'. I hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamijimf Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Yes. I doubt if there are written rules for 20 questions but I played it a lot as a kid. Another way of beginning a 20 questions problem is by announcing it "the unknown object" is either animal, vegetable, or mineral. Having the players guess whether it is person, place, or thing is of course OK also. If it's vegetable or mineral we used to ask as a second question: Is it bigger or smaller than a breadbox? Am I showing my age? From what we know about the current problem, I'm guessing it is an alien, and I don't mean Izzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators timm525 Posted August 22, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I remember the "bigger than a bread box" line, so no, your not showing your age Jim. I'm 1/10th your age buddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicechic84 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Another good guess but technically it's not a plant at all Tim. It's just closest to that family of living things. Jim, yes you make a good and valid point. This thing is much larger than a breadbox (once again in it's original form, however they do come in many different sizes). However, after the fact (once it is in the form that it appears on the episode it is about the size 'if folded' as a breadbox or even smaller). I hope this helps (and makes sense).

Vicechic84 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 First off, I must sincerely apologize for mentioning this 'living things' original state as it really has nothing to do with this thing in its current state. And it appears that it's the mention of that that has veered this in an entirely other direction that I thought it would have ever gone. The questions have gone so far out of reach that I that I feel it's time I should bring ya'll back in gentlemen. You guys are really breakin' my heart here.:cry: This thing is not as complex (or obscure) as it may sound. In fact, you'll all be saying, 'Omg is that what it is?!' when this thing is finally revealed. I will go as far as to mention that this thing is something we enjoy (or possibly not enjoy) looking at every day. It is a universal thing that people can purchase anywhere (literally!) or are given the choice to 'subscribe' to at an affordable cost. And this thing can be seen in Season 3 Jim. I hope this helps (and of course makes sense). Btw. you're all very impressive with your questions! And I truly mean that in the highest regard gentlemen! Yes, it's a compliment! :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicechic84 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Another good guess but no it's not the thing in question Tim. Although this thing is made from the same thing as 'money'. Also (because it's that light enough in weight) you can carry it under your arm if you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicechic84 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Okay, now you've named where this once 'living thing' began it's journey Tim. This 'thing' is made from trees but is then turned into something else we use daily. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
