by Mickado Tue 22 Nov 2011, 10:07 am

A potato.

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov 2011, 10:07 am

I dont think anything has evolved from it, it is quite unique.

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov 2011, 10:09 am

no not a potato, it has eyes and vision.

by Mickado Tue 22 Nov 2011, 10:09 am

A trilobite?

I can’t imagine either of my last two guesses being the name of a gymnastics move to be honest…

by **Pal Joey** Tue 22 Nov 2011, 10:10 am

Is the 7th continent where it isn't found - Antarctica? or have fossils been found there?

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov 2011, 10:11 am

sorry Mickado,not a trilobite.

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov 2011, 10:16 am

they are not found in Antartica now.

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov 2011, 10:19 am

Luckless
Sorry not a plant / Venus flytrap.

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov 2011, 10:22 am

the gymnastics move is only really common in womens gymnastics,it might also be called a pose.

I wouldn't be so sure. Nadia Comaneci did the best potatoes I've ever seen.

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov 2011, 10:27 am

watching Nadia do this would be worth a second look....

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov 2011, 10:29 am

I have 8 legs.

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov 2011, 10:35 am

Its coming up to mid night here so to help it along:
I have a venomous sting

The sting was a strong hint but aren't they around today or was this some sort of ancient variety?

by **Pal Joey** Tue 22 Nov 2011, 11:06 am

In Disney cartoons, what was Goofy's nephew's name?

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov 2011, 11:12 am
