Sep 09, 2007 Hypercross Puzzle

I've tried a trillion answers, but I'm getting "sorry that's not correct" for all of them :(

edit:
Ah, my engineering background tripped me up!
kilobyte, megabyte.....

I've got all but 3.... Can't get the cartoon-y guys with the barrels in the background, the black hanging thing (looks like cast iron), or the fossil b/c I can't remember it's name.

Edit: got the fossil.

Edit 2: Thanks [6] that got the iron looking thing for me. Got the cartoon-y guys too by simply going through the alphabet until I stumbled on the right word.

That pendant is messing me up...

I'm with you on the iron thing [2]. What is it?

I knew all of them, though the three guys screwed me up for a minute. Averted pulling my hair out when I realized I misspelled the fossil.

3 Think hot things.

Thanks [6] that actually helped a lot!

The term for the iron thing was not one I was familiar with for a long time. It seems to be somewhat of a regional term, or something. I asked three of my pet doctors, and only one knew what it was.

Hmm, 2 spellings for the fossil.

does any one have a good link for the fossil

Cool, I got it all fairly easy. I knew kinda what the fossil was called, and got it close enough so when I googled it, it prompted me with the correct spelling.

I had no clue about the stick figures, until i realized the most important thing about them is just that there's three of them.

[10] I found one mdbourrie@gmail.com

you have to look for awhile

I think the stick men are one short of a barbershop quartet.

I don't know the hockey one. I thought for sure it was "hat trick" before I figured out the theme.

got it on the first tri, though I did have to check spelling on the fossil

[8] well said

my spelling must be off what is the other spelling for fossil

This one should have been worth 3... =-P

[14] What is he doing to that other player?

[17] It's a particular fossil - an arthropod fossil

There are Tanga Points still available via last night's Tanga Times...

For me, this one was as easy as they come. Nice change -- I've been struggling with IDing pictures in the hypercrosses the past few days.

I have them all filled in and spelled right and it is not going

fun...and not too hard. Thanks to the person who said what type of fossil it was...that and google was enough to get the right word.

I'd like to thank Animal Crossing's museum for the knowledge of fossils.
By the way, this salt is kind of bland.

Loved the puzzle.

I got it, it sure took a tough stomach to be able to figure out that deli tray.

It kept tripping me up.

better than yesterday.
had a hard time spelling the fossil, though

I never heard of the metal thing either.

On the three figures with the barrels, based on the length of the word, I was looking for a certain silly rabbit... (or am I being too US-centric?)

[28] It's much more generic. There are three figures there... which makes them a ____?

Thanks to all who enjoyed my puzzle! I plan to submit more in this particular genre, so look for me in the near future!
