>if it came to that, Ted, would you tell us how to tell the difference between an oblate spheroid and a prolate spheroid?
Yes. But ONLY if it comes to that.

Dear Mr. tsuwm:
You have just given away the definition. Gee thanks. Now what would you do if you were Hogmaster here in this situation?
Blagh regards,

I didn't think I did, but it won't do any good to delete it now!
edit: the concept of an "opposite" to oblate piqued my interest.

I didn't vote, 'cuz I know the correct one's not there. I happen to know the real meaning of prolate is: an ecclesiastical bigwig who happens to like certain kinds of people.

Dear tsuwm, Please forgive me for not checking out this word with you via PM before posting this sabotaged round. I forgot. I just found the word, thought we needed another round, and I plunged in. I don't blame you at all for writing about spheroids. It could have been worse. You could have written about hemroids. Anyway, anybody can still vote between now and Sunday night whether you know the definition or not. Folks been pretty clever in what they created and would appreciate your points. Blushing regards, WW

I feel like one of the ladies in frilly dresses sitting in the cheering section at a pig denutting ceremony.Nearly had one of those late-night-coffee-coming-out-of-the-nostrils moments when I read this. Maybe there is some virtue in Lower Alabamy besides state lines to escape across after all!

Dody,
As soon as you three vote, I think all the votes of submitters will be in. I can't remember exactly, but it seems that we wait till each of the submitters has cast a vote.
So: Dody....
Jackie...
and Scalawag....
please cast your votes.
Thanks,
WW

It's #6, the artful and deceptive Chinese curse. Did y'all ever read the Kai Lung books, by Ernest Bramah? You'll have come across the word there.

Well, Dub-Dub, I guess all the hogs will come out in the wash!  A curious match, this one.
