The "Barnicle" thing reflects the nautical theme of the riddle (and its answer.) 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. And, frankly, I don't care." - Anonymous Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Onamography - Strictly for the creative ones beck123 #190589 04/19/10 07:40 AM Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 26 T ToughGirlsRule newbie ToughGirlsRule newbie T Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 26 Originally Posted By: beck123 Barnicle: The old man had us preparing the ship from stern to jib: a hand could not be seen at rest.

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.)

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.) Last edited by beck123; 04/19/10 09:59 PM. "I don't know which is worse: ignorance or apathy.

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.
