arnieHere are the daffynitions for
olamic:
- Spurious, counterfeit
- Adj.: Oils used as a base in room deodorizers. Similar to esters, olamic oils bond with scent and prolong the life of solid deodorizers.
- Of or pertaining to an acid
- everlasting, eternal
- name of a 19-carbon mono-unstaurated fatty acid; also called "11-nonadecenoic acid"
- softness on the bottoms of the feet
- A term refering to an archaelogical period in South American history. Olamic pottery was decorated with inlaid slivers of multicolored stone.
Let the guessing begin!

BobHaleI'm torn between 4 and 1, the others all look like red herrings to me.
I'll try 4.

tinmanI'm guessing it's either an oil or an acid, so I'll pick the oil, # 2. So it's probably 7.

<Asa Lovejoy>Just for the halibut I'll guess five
Hey, this board switched from black and white to color just now! What's with this?

KallehI don't know, Asa, but I hate change! It reminds me of a chocolate bar, and I just want to eat it!

I will choose number 4, and, yes, I had already decided that before I saw the other posts. Besides, if you look at my dismal record, you've got to know that I don't cheat at this game!

KallehAlright, Bob, I will refrain.

Another thing I hate about it is that there is black, white, that sickly yellow, that chocolate brown (though one could describe it as something else!), and that bright blue (which I have always loved). How many colors can one forum have?
