    Hey, I'm a chemist. It seemed trivial to me (and apparently to you, too). I just love the anti-evolution pamphlets that claim a mollusk is 80,000 years old by C-14 dating -- if you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance....

    Your turn.

    The only one I know is the one Morgoth mentioned. Counterstrike is a video game, isn't it? Do they use those plastic guns that you shoot at the TV screen?

    Hang on, are we talking about a real gun, a plastic gun, or a video game gun here? I'm confused.

    The Steyr AUG is a real gun, but one of the hints was that it is referenced in a video game.

    I thought "plastic gun" like for bypassing security, but this one has metal parts, though it is primarily plastic and it has been called a state of the art ergonomic weapon.

    So not one of those guns that you shoot at the TV screen during a game then?

    Not in Counter-Strike, the running would be to hard to accomplish with one of those as your only controller.

    The word random has come to us from its Germanic origin through Old French and Middle English slightly changing meaning and spelling each time.

    What does the Old French word randon mean?

    Maybe this is a trick question, so I will guess "random"?

    Well it sounds like the Dutch word "randen" so I guess "edges"?
