Answers 13 and 6 have a lot in common and may well be connected - even plumbed together. But 6 is a bit too good to be true, so I vote for
13

I can tink of no-one who would say "shot in the dark," they would all say, if they used it at all, "stab in the dark."
In my circles, they would say either "shot in the dark" or "take a stab at it." Never "stab in the dark."

I don't know about the rest of you but I have no intention of sitting around bored, waiting for TEd to bring his cute butt back from whatever dalliance he saw fit to undertake, rather I shall utilize my skills as a pscholingualanalyst and systematically uncover the author of each bogus post. When and if Quizmaster TEd returns he will return to a Hogwash resolved, where all the players have awarded their ownselves points. Let us begin with entry #1.
We pscholingualanalysts have a saying, "The writings of the female are as translucent as a newborn tadpole." we say. Look closely at entry #1.
a surface feeding duck that nests in the region of the lower (beautiful, blue, implied) Danube. Zounds! This isn't a definition, this is high poetry. Such imagery. The white ducks swimming by the red wheelbarrow...er, I mean, swimming in the beautiful blue implied Danube River.
a remorphemization of sedgewidgeon (anas acicularis)Say this line aloud. Now say it again. Now sing it. This is a line that demands to be sung. Perfect; meter and rhythm with only a hint of meaning, ahhh.
Sedgwick: This spelling of sedgwik is an artistic statement. No one, I repeat TEd, no one should tell a poet how to spell.
Tommorrow: Entry # 2.
POST EDIT: Nevermind. Andy just walked in and told me he had heard the National Public Radio broadcast of the Vienna orchestra's annual New Years Day Salute to The Waltzes of Strauss. In keep with tradition they concluded the program with " The Blue Danube Waltz". They mentioned the sedgwick duck. Oh well...

Dear Milum,
Poets should always have you out there hearing them. You have the ear of an ideal audience, rare, awake, and wonderful, wonderful. You must sometimes have great times in the dictionary, I would guess.
Best regards,
DubDub, an appreciative audience of your critique

These are all far too silly. I don't believe any of them. I'll vote for 11, though, as the most ludicrous.
