Someone (AnnaStrophic, maybe?) expressed disappointment in the theme being quasi-mathematical rather than semantical in nature, and i'd be inclined to agree (and NO, this isn't just sour grapes at not having entered my correct guess quickly enough, *mr* tracy ) My challenge, before i digress further, is this: Can anyone think of an alternate theme to this week's words? bridget=) Ipsa scientia potestas est ~Bacon Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: The theme game #16700 01/24/01 09:49 PM Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 6,511 lower upstate New York AnnaStrophic Carpal Tunnel AnnaStrophic Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 6,511 lower upstate New York dear Bridget, in the grip of the sour grape , 'Twarn't me.
