did you miss the clue ?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Thu Aug 21, 2008 12:05 am

i think i must have missed it

ops:
AEAEA was circe's island so that won't count.
as for fives i reckon qUEUEIng is good, zOEAE is iffy, onomatopOEIAIc is okay if you split a diphthong. cOOEEIng looks good if you are american and my old psued jAAAArne is a brilliant icelandic word. (with a scrambled egg over each A).

sorry to be such a geek but i love words.

i know the feeling Lugsy, strangely i am much better at chuzzle when i've had a skinful.

here's another one:

what is the best-selling item on the argos catalogue?

(it is guessable; not as impossible as it looks)

sometimes i read a question on here and it's all greek to me ,so.............
prometheus, an immortal titan ,stole fire from zeus to give to mortal man.
his punishment for this sickenning crime entailed what?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Thu Aug 21, 2008 3:27 pm

i did a degree in this so wouldn't be fair if i guessed.

Hmm the only one I tend to remember was sisyphus who was condemned to spend eternity pushing a boulder up a hill for his crime of imprisoning death.

I'll take a stab in the dark at his punishment was to be turned into a mortal.

nice guess and unfortunately wrong,seemed these greek gods were a bit extreme with their tickings off

,poor old prometheus' fate was a fate worse ,than a fate worse than death.

Was it Pandora and her box

i think pandora plays a part in prometheus' story ,somewhere (ask istenem for the s.p on that)but not what i'm looking for here.
