So where's the animal? Is it an anagram? A humorous animal? I don't see a "V" for "VICK"... -N

Rats. Should have recognized the Wildebeest, but I'm so used to seeing it in the context of software licensing these days... Thanks for the welcome.

Jackie, I'm not. As a creaky old codger possibly on the threshold of Alzheimer's, I understand that this word contains "gnu," but still I don't understand most of the posts, including the first one
Perhaps there's nothing else to see

Surprise, surprise! an interregnum is not a bird,is not either the subterranean stone-eater. When a king dies or is moved away, the no king period beween kingdoms is called interregnum (inter= between, regnum=kingdom). Nice day!

I think he meant that if I had added ", it was" to the end of An apropos summing up., it would have then been grammatically correct. But I have a sneaking suspicion (touché, A) that he and perhaps others overlooked something, since no one commented on it or followed up. C'mon, people, use your eyes!

Hey--when you tell me you saw it the first time, completely on your own, then I'll let you get away with that. Otherwise...I think I'll try siccing Ted on you. (Oh, Te-ed, where are you, Dear One...?) Or maybe I'll dozens you; dunno; but I'll think of something.

Like with grammar correction to make a complete sentence? Like that's a complete sentence? Oh but is that one? The Kafkaesque 'out' is subject implied: [Do you] [l]ike [,] with grammar correction [,] to make a complete sentence? Nothing counts as assailable if Anna likes it , Snippy2.
