You were meant to say “You’re Whelk-ome”. 🙂 Never mind, it was a bit of a groaner - a lot of a groaner, actually. I was thinking of _Hitchhiker’s Guide_ when I answered that question. You don’t have a whelk’s chance in a supernova of winning this game unless you put “conch” for number 10. ---

I always do poorly in **brujaja’s** contests. Maybe her questions inspire me to put down more personal answers, rather than putting down what I think will be the most popular answer. Also, what was the unusual instrument in “Norwegian Wood”? ---
