Anybody want to play 20 questions?

15 questions left

In typical use, does it go more than 10 miles?

Is this thing typically used as a thing unto itself (as opposed to a component part of a thing)?

(e.g., a car, truck, trailer, etc. vs. an engine, tire, seat, etc.)

Taking these two out of order, for reasons which I hope will be clear:

It is a “thing unto itself”, made up of many components such as those you mention.

A Google search reveals that the average trip for an object of this general type is about 9.5 miles, but I have a specific manufacturer’s product name in mind, so I’m not sure how closely this specific product hews to the norm.

  • Apparently has multiple manufacturers making things of this kind
  • Not a watercraft

Does the song reference someone dying or dead?

  1. Yes

I have no clue, but I’m wondering if the “perverse” nature of the song is necro. :eek:

There’s no necrophilia. It’s about (emotionally) not being able to let go. It also has something of a supernatural element that some would find creepy.

I think I found the song via Google. Is that cheating? I never heard of the song otherwise.
