How would you classify zombies? Quite the philosophical debate.

(it's still a no)

[TheSheep]

is it to do with the landscape?

[tima]

is it to do with the landscape?

Can you rephrase? The question isn't clear to me.
If you're asking if it's a landscape object (eg. some mountain), then no.

[Rook]

Is it on the ground?

[tima]

Uh.. not really. It's not flying/floating or anything though.

[Rook]

To summarise:
It is not alive and never has been, it is not found in the home, there is only one of it, it is not a building or a feature of the landscape, it is not on the ground, but neither is it floating or flying, and it isn't underground.

It is an object smaller than or equal in size to a human, but you can't touch it (not abstract though).

Correct? (That isn't my question, since you answered all this already, I merely wish to verify that you haven't been telling contradictory porkies, and that my summary is correct)

Is it surrounded by lasers and anti-theft devices?

[swampmonkey]

Is it Air?

Is it surrounded by lasers and anti-theft devices?

What you said is correct.
And the answer to your question is yes (which is pretty much why you can't touch it).
You should replace the "and" in your question by "or", or I could've exploited it. Though I really haven't checked if they use lasers or not.
Anyways..


Is it Air?

Nope.
I think air is touchable.. and it's not one of a kind.

[tima]

Nope.

Edit: Is it the Maltese Chicken?

What's the maltese chicken? Some work of art? That's not it.

Or were you asking "art" as a queston, and the chicken is just a guess?

[The Mna]

Or were you asking "art" as a queston, and the chicken is just a guess?

[tima]

can you omit that question from the count then?

And that question doesn't count as one too :]

[bmfy.]

That question should count, as it gave information to what the thing was, but, when I used to be the person, I tried to have a laissez-faire attitude about the number of questions and all that, so, doesn't really matter.

Also, how many questions left?

And lastly, if noone minds, I would like to do the next one.
