OK, I'll jump in.

What is the connection between the following, and if possible, why? Each question has a different link:

A. Aristotle; the goddess Wicca; something slinky; mosquito repellant; the route to a bell tower

B. Dancing too slowly for the quadrille; a whistling woman; the tails of young dogs; Stephen Jay Gould; postage stamps

C. Yiddish; Beethoven; sex; Amy Tan; Wordsworth; Leaders of Men

D. Enid Blyton; sheafs of corn; heaven and earth; monstrous heads; sin; resting; managerial competencies; marital strife; God

Issybird beat me to the '7' one. Don't know all the reasons, but you've got Enid Blyton's Secret Seven, the 7 deadly sins and a book called something like 'The 7 Skills of Effective Managers'.

'The Joy of Sex', Amy Tan wrote 'The Joy Luck Club', Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy' are the only ones I know for the 'joy' one.

Still pondering the other two - this is a tricky one!

issybird · 03-19-2012, 04:33 PM

Also:

Leo Rosten wrote a book called, The Joy of Yiddish.

Islam's Seven Pillars of Wisdom for God, I figured.

Heaven and earth were created in seven days.

B. Snails?

All correct

. It was the "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" btw.

The Joy of Yiddish is right.

Not the seven pillars of wisdom.

Heaven & Earth created in 7 days is close enough, I was actually looking for "God rested on the seventh day".

Gould researched snails.

"Snips and snails and puppy dog tails": what little boys are made of.

As for the quadrille, I figure it has something to do with slowness.

Postage Stamps: snail mail.

issybird · 03-19-2012, 04:53 PM

Resting: seven winks.

issybird · 03-19-2012, 04:55 PM

Oh, Wordsworth, Surprised by Joy. I forgot to list that one.
