One of the best shows EVAR!

Finally available for purchase as well! Yes!

Ferris Bueller (the movie) is one of the best movies of all time ... not really salt, but this puzzle made me think of it.

Someone's been watching Family Guy previews!!

The puzzle wasn't hard...but I feel completely out of the loop as I have never heard of this.

[5] I'm with ya - thank goodness for < insert favorite search engine here >.

[6] Search engine search isn't working....I guess this show isn't as famous as some think.

Never heard this phrase. Very difficult to get if you have not. There are many birds in that Genus including snipe,sandpiper,etc.

[8]Please recheck your references. I can't find a single reference or website that says that either snipes or sandpipers are in the genus Numenius.

never heard of it.

I thought it looked like a sandpiper so I was off from the start. These birds are in the same FAMILY but not in that GENUS. Google gave me a hit on the family before the hit on the genus.

thefreedictionary.com [9]

[12]The entry you cite is similar to the one the other person misunderstood. The entry first states the bird that is a member of genus Numenius, which is the information you need for the puzzle. Then it gives as additional information the family of which that genus is a member and mentions other members of that family (but NOT of genus Numenius), including snipes and sandpipers.

weight? I neva 'eard ov'dis.

Great one! I learned a new word on the bird. And seriously people, it isn't that hard to search the bird one. It isn't confusing at all-- I hit on the word the first time I searched. It was figuring out the syllables in the answer that was the difficult part. But searching for the bird, not a problem.

Synchronize Swatches!

Does anyone else write out the clues and THEN get it in a flash? That's my sure fire strategy if i get hung up on a crypto.

Skipped over the bird and still got it.

[17] that's how I got it, too

Never heard of it, thanks Wiki and Google.

I don't get it. I got it, but I don't get it.

I've heard of it. Never watched it but heard of it. The 'ew' variant spelling delayed me a couple seconds.

Yah! I hoid of it, but no watchee

Never heard of it, either.

Never heard of it either.

If I have to use google more than once then it's a puzzle fail in my book.

Whew, glad I'm not the only one who's never heard of this.
