Opps! No, I'm wearing my blinders! Sorry!

Maybe you can't see Shayne because you are in 'stealth' mode...

Okay, here's a quick cryptic:

Feeble is accented to make it sparkle [4 letters]

Just to tidy away this stale old question: the answer (and possibly the question) is lame/lamé.

Here's a super-easy one.

What seabird has the Latin name Puffinus puffinus?

God... it was actually easy and I STILL couldn't even come close!

But this one is a trick question!

I lost out on a trivia game because of this one. It was the tie-breaker. I'll hold back and give some of the others a chance...

D'oh! bluddy lamé (I am only doing this so I can do special e's)

é hee hee Any excuse. how about the temp in °

ahem.... back to the Q....

Did you see this on TAYG?

is it puffin? nah that would be too easy and that is puffinus pacificus or sommat?

Shayne Parkinson · 09-15-2011, 10:02 PM

You're right, Snakey, it's not puffin (which are three different species of Fratercula). It *is* a seabird.

(What's TAYG?)

"Talking About Your Generation" Is a TV quiz show. I seem to remember a puffin question on there recently.

Shayne Parkinson · 09-15-2011, 10:15 PM

Ah, thanks. I saw this one in New Scientist.

Shayne Parkinson · 09-15-2011, 10:44 PM

Clue (because it's a tricky one unless you happen just to know the answer): the bird's common name is two words, a place plus a type of seabird (along the lines of Tasmanian Seagull, which isn't the answer).

I cheated and looked it up on google. So I excuse myself from the competition for the moment. Unless you want to hit me with an little cryptic one to play with whilst we wait for someone else to wake up.
