by Mickado Tue 22 Nov - 10:09

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 - 10:10

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

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov - 10:11

sorry Mickado,not a trilobite.

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov - 10:16

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov - 10:19

Luckless
Sorry not a plant / Venus flytrap.

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov - 10:22

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

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov - 10:27

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

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov - 10:29

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov - 10:35

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

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov - 10:37

And I am not found in New Zealand.

by **Pal Joey** Tue 22 Nov - 10:39

You're kidding... Laugh

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 - 11:06

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

by aucklandlaurie Tue 22 Nov - 11:12

by **Pal Joey** Tue 22 Nov - 11:18
