It sounds nautical, at least - I spelled it to match the silly "onnicle" thing. I tried to imitate the writing of the day in my riddle, and there are several clues in the clue - a few overt, one sneakily hidden. _________________________ "I don't know which is worse: ignorance or apathy.

beck123 addict Registered: 02/22/10 Posts: 655 Loc: Florida, USA	OK, here's an easy one: Onnicle: In the society of minor criminals there is now much ado, because by using new security photograph technology, shoplifters and pickpockets can be identified very easily. Clue: Not a person, but a thing you might find on a computer. Tricky, since a word is split (though it is often split – in a way - in the actual name of the thing.) _________________________ "I don't know which is worse: ignorance or apathy.

beck123 addict Registered: 02/22/10 Posts: 655 Loc: Florida, USA	Chuckie Dodgson! ...er, LEWIS CARROLL! Onnicle: The inquisitors were careful to warn erotic artists in eastern Spain that their work was forbidden. The artists ignored the threat, and the River Ebro soon echoed their pitiful screams. Clue: A well-known company name, partly abbreviated (as one often sees it.) Edited by beck123 (04/19/10 05:59 PM) _________________________ "I don't know which is worse: ignorance or apathy.

Coffeebean old hand Registered: 02/11/03 Posts: 725 Loc: Oregon, USA	Warner Bros Onnicle: Brad was proud to land the role of angel in a Christmas pageant; there wasn’t much else for excitement in Joliet. Do you need a clue for this one???

beck123 addict Registered: 02/22/10 Posts: 655 Loc: Florida, USA	JOE MONTANA! Here's a toughie (I think.) Onnicle: Generally, river environments boast live egrets. Informed people should never, ever victimize egrets, they say. Clue(s): Despite support from Hollywood big-wigs, backward people often have trouble with this idea, initially. They don’t feel that somebody else’s environmental dream works in their part of the world. _________________________ "I don't know which is worse: ignorance or apathy.
