Ehh … close enough. They’re physical theories. Quantum Field Theory, MagnetoHydroDynamics, and Quantum ChromoDynamics. MHD isn’t actually a quantum mechanical theory, but I’ll give it to you.

Quite so, but a bit more distinctive attribute associates them. Maybe more than one, but at least the one I was shooting for.

Not the collection I’m thinking of. Don’t know one way or the other about your grouping.

I was just extrapolating from penguins and eagles which I knew had that behavior. Onward.

[QUOTE=Zeldar]  
Maybe it has one, but I thought the title might be catchy enough to draw a few Game Dopers.

Here’s the idea:

1. think of some category or grouping of stuff
2. don’t name the category but give at least three examples of it
3. announce it after somebody guesses it exactly the way you thought of it

Do as many groupings as you like per post, but label them so folks can refer to the group easily.

Example:

1. Ziplok
2. Hefty
3. Glad

Category: Brands for storage bags (I would allow close approximations like Things to Store Food In)  
[/QUOTE]

I think the name for this game is [Tribond](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribond).
