    Re: A full explanation of clues would be nice

    Yes, the church thing flummoxed me as well. I'm looking forward to an explanation ...

    I get a lot of the cryptic clues [I got BSA and CISPA right off], but I'm still baffled as to how "Terrible prefix and terrific prefix" result in "dino". (Yes, I understand that dinosaur is slang for obsolete. But how are the "prefixes" supposed to guide me there?)

    "This is a perfectly reasonable use, and certainly not in any way confusing (even to the proverbial moron in a hurry)."

    In the air somewhere?

    "It's meaningless; it's not real. It's in the air somewhere."

    The same thing could be said about friendship or any other personal relationship -- And relationships are what a lot of the internet is all about. Older people especially come to the internet just to reconnect with family and friends.

    Bradbury might not need relationships since he's rich and famous, so he can just wall himself off with his books.

    (Hmm, remind you of a Twilight Zone episode?)
