0) Animal, vegetable, mineral.
1) Is it alive? No, and kicks not.
2) Will it fit in a breadbin? No, not even a huge one.
3) Not a geographical feature (big enough to be one if something nasty happened!)
4) Is it Robbie Williams ego? No
5) Is it Ffordean?

0. It is primarily vegetable, with some mineral traces.
