    Oh, and I've seen the barrel of flesh one before and I think it's flawed. Unlike nearly every other one of its kind, the inside of the thing in question is not flesh - it's a crystal. Hence you can buy it with the water of crystalization removed...

    I think:

    Banzai's no.3 is someone laughing.

    Kit's is family.

    Onoria's is something to do with places (Wales, Cape Cod) but my head hurts too much to work it out.

    Not even close. Nothing to do with Wales.

    No, my third one isn't someone laughing, and I'm not too sure what Onoria was trying to say, but it has nothing to do with crystalisation either :confused:

    It's a coconut, right? Last time I heard the answer, it was "a coconut". Only the flesh of cocunuts, different to other fruits which have flesh, is in fact crystals from the milk. That's why it can be dessicated and used on cakes. I was probably only sulking about this point because I couldn't solve it when I first heard it. I thought it was a mushroom...

    Sorry Onoria, not a coconut, although that is an interesting answer. No, this riddle is something different, and I think part of it's difficulty is that it is reasonably old (the riddle, that is).

    Is it to do with words or books? I was sure that it was pages...it was the word 'bound' that made me think so. You can't say that for words...mmm...tricksy little hobitsis...

    Oh...and to make the fish one a bit easier - a bonito is a hard fish and an octopus is an extinguished fish...
