tsuwm:

May I be the first to say I don't understand the reason for your post? I intended to give a full seven days for this segment of the round, but now it appears there will be only five.

The answer I had in mind is a baby echidna or playpus, a word I ran across when my daughter asked me if echidnas really did lay eggs. Most people got fooled by one or another of the daffynitions, the details can be gleaned from the above.

My heart isn't into counting, but I suspect that Elizabeth Creith's definition of getting air out of clay fooled drew more votes. Or possibly I, which is ASp's contribution.
