Your choice, what do you prefer, a urine soaked seat in the down position, or a clean seat in the up position

aggry: Coloured and variegated glass beads of ancient manufacture, found buried in the ground in Africa. A word of unknown origin. Seemingly always used attributively, as in aggry beads.
braggry: A variant form of braggery. Obsolete.
conyngry: An obsolete dialectal variant of conyger, itself an obsolete term meaning “rabbit warren”.
gry: The smallest unit in Locke’s proposed decimal system of linear measurement, being the tenth of a line, the hundredth of an inch, and the thousandth of a (“philosophical”) foot. Also the grunt of a pig, an insignificant trifle, or a verb meaning to roar. Obsolete.
iggry: Egyptian colloquial Arabic pronunciation of ijri: “Hurry up!”, brought back after the First World War by members of British and Australian forces who had fought in Egypt.
meagry: Having a meagre appearance. Obsolete.
nangry: A variant form of angry. Obsolete.
podagry: Dodder, or the condition of a plant infested with it.
puggry: A variant form of puggree, a light turban or head-covering worn by inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent.
There is no common third word, it was a riddle. (do a google,' ending in gry')

Re: The great unanswered question
Had to go back a fair while to find this thread... need to bump it up because the kids keep asking me...: when you see the moon here in the afternoon, does that mean Australia can't see the moon for that night.. If they can't see the moon, what is going on and why? And if they CAN, what is going on and why????? I don't know....
And also, for my benefit - why, when I spend most of the night tossing and turning, not able to sleep, do I fall into the most incredibly wonderful, deep sleep 15 minutes before the alarm goes off?
And finally, how/where can I get an atavar?

Re: The great unanswered question
How about this:
Toast always lands butter side down, cats always land on their feet. What happens if you tie a piece of buttered toast onto the back of a cat? Will it hover in the air a foot above the ground in an endless spinning cosmic quandry?

1.Why is shower scum always pink? No matter what colour the soap is?
2. Why do they nail coffins down (likely hood of escape!)
3. Who made the word "lisp" have an "S" in it!
Just a thought!
