  1. One might twitch when ropes affix to pull and kick an oxen trick This one should be child's play, but I could be wrong.
  2. I love that movie, but that is not the answer.
  3. It was fun folks. Here are the final standings: 1. Charlie has begun to expose a position of authority. 2. Does a bird get flipped at the service counter? 3. Set aside the first can. 4. Lounge alternative is not flat. 5. An amatuer probed the bottom of the sea for oysters. 6. Brad wore strange costumes. 7. Governmental department heads hack imaginary bottom line. 8. Doctors sample different tools. 9. Suppress rude skills at the workplace. 10. The bathroom even turned back the dead for Mama once. Bonus Points to for the theme. Good job and thanks to all who participated!
  4. That is it! Way to go, DudleyDude.
  5. Any ideas? That logic is good for a POW but these are a little different. One part is a fairly straightforward clue and the other part uses some sort of wordplay. The trick is determining which part is which. Also, the answer will fit the theme but the context in which it is used in the clue will not necessarily. You probably already know that but I wanted to say it for the benefit of anyone who may be following along.
  6. Now stuck in the bathroom. Of course, those three are correct. Maybe when you get out you can have a go at #10 .
  7. yay i got one... Way to go DD! Yeah, once you get it you know you are right.
  8. Indeed that is it, Wilson.
  9. Ding! Ding! Bonus points for tiger.
  10. You are correct! Thanks DD, I appreciate your feedback.

    There is not "prime cause" because time is not linear. There is no beginning (or end) of time just as there are no edges to the universe spatially. Space and time are the same thing anyhow. The "boundaries" of the universe have more to do with the limits of the laws of physics (the speed of light, etc.) than they do with actual physical edges. Like what octopuppy said, the superdense universe theories (although catastrophic for matter) do not require that the universe be reduced to an actual singularity. The universe as we know it (including our distant observations) is just a tiny piece of the whole picture.
  12. Yes, indeed. Again, that is correct. 3 for 3 way to go, DD!
  13. O.K. after tinkering with some other word riddle forms I have returned with another batch of cryptic clues. You can look at some of my past cryptic clues for guidance. Basically they are like cryptic crossword clues. I have added the length of each answer word to make this a little easier. Bonus points for figuring out the theme. 1. Charlie has begun to expose a position of authority. (5) 2. Does a bird get flipped at the service counter? (9) 3. Set aside the first can. (5) 4. Lounge alternative is not flat. (4) 5. An amatuer probed the bottom of the sea for oysters. (3) 6. Brad wore strange costumes. (8) 7. Governmental department heads hack imaginary bottom line. (7) 8. Doctors sample different tools. (5) 9. Suppress rude skills at the workplace. (4) 10. The bathroom even turned back the dead for Mama once. (7)
  14. Once again that is correct, Wilson! These are that standings so far: 1. Sweet Shop -Wilson 2. Geeks Like Fiction 3. Most Skillful Destruction 4. A Psychic Oxter -tiger_lily111 5. Trendy Humor -Wilson 6. KGB Agent Squid Quota 7. Dirty Idea Night 8. Wireless Pig 9. Fret Also Mister -tiger_lily111 10. Citified Bladder Experts 11. Spherical Chart -Wilson 12. Baby Mama -Wilson It my be easier to work backward on this one. Remember these are all currently playing movies (or at least they were about a week ago.)
  15. Sorry EDM, that is not it. Though I admit I had to look up what the heck 'oxter' meant. Yes, that is right! And this one, too! Sorry John, you may want to check the example. That is the one!
