Looks like no one is in a big herry to answer this one, it's pretty tough. Maybe you can give us a small clue tomorrow (after you've selected a few winners for everyone, so no one here gets too upset).

what i see is.....
1) 3 dudes, picture is too small to make out who they are, dude in middle looks like David Geffen(?)
2) eye of a hurricane
3) ear of corn
4) point spread, line, odds

as in...
1) are those dudes gay
2) how bad and which way is that hurricane going to be
3) is corn really going to be able to be reliably used to offset a oil crisis.
4) are the Red Sox the new dynasty in the AL east and the Yanks are has beens.
5) is children's programming really good for the children or is it sending hidden messages.

Quite impressive. Did any of the clues really give it away? Was it the last one?

Now only because it's the holiday season, I had decided to award a prize to the 1st person to answer correctly (so don't anyone get too accustomed to that, btw).

Choice of one of these fine prizes:

CD set of the the Mackris v. O'Reilly Opera
I Am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert

So if you're interested in claiming the prize Data, PM me your choice and your mailing details.

If you're not interested in claiming, the prize goes to the next person to answer correctly.

To some extent, yes, the last one.

juuso's Fortune:
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws!

Alas no prize for second but still very, very nicely done.

Maybe I'll have to offer a prize for the next puzzle, too ...

Joes Eye Husk Money Line Elmo? im an idiot i just can't figure it out.

12-18-07 01:30 PM

Here's my biggest mental block -

The original clue says "mythical Ivy League professor"

Penn
Dartmouth
Yale
Harvard
Brown
Princeton
Columbia
"Corn"ell

So you can't google one of these universities for an actual professor's name, because he's mythical.

So, in my mind, one of these universities needs to be named in the clue ("Corn"ell?). Otherwise, why the reference to Ivy league?

So far, however, I haven't seen the author of this puzzle say anything negative to the word "husk".

Joseph Cornell? Nothing about him fit.

Matt Rain · 12-18-07 03:11 PM

Three Joes. So Joe.
The arrow points to the spiral bands of the hurricane. No clue.
Husk.
Arb.
Herry.

Joe ? Oscar Berry

Did you take Psychoceramics?

this thing kind of reminded me of a sketch they do on Conan O'Brien every now and then, but they would show a series of pics, then say this or that is more likely to whatever.
