      <description><![CDATA[Wow... AAC, you actually know the song?  I'm impressed!

Dido wishes to make it perfectly clear that she doesn't dance.  I think, however, that this may be because she's afraid that if she did, Wilfred would ask her to dance, with possibly unfortunate results.  Let's face it, folks, if you were shaped like a dodo, would you want to dance with a lovestruck penguin with a severe drink problem?

      <description><![CDATA[Actually, as I recall in the third one all but one are Nextian publications (point the cursor at them and wait for the name to pop up), and the final one has one mode of transportation that doesn't exist in Thursday's world (and which--as PSD points out--she doesn't really believe in when her father tells here they do exist somewhere else).

Oddly enough, they all made perfect sense to me on the first go, and I got through on the first try.  My mind must be warped in the correct direction.

      <description><![CDATA[okay, okay - enough!

The first one is really easy - I mean, how many dodo's have you seen walking down your road recently? One of them is very much not extinct - use your skill and intellect to work out which...

Second one is the Starter for Ten from 'Name That Fruit'. Even I could do it, although there are rumours that at least one person went through the entire book and worked out that only one of the items was reverse engineered. By the way, the odd one out is the only one to be a verb, and to feature on Welsh pound coins. No, really.  

Third one is the doozy. One of them is the name of the bar in the Finis Hotel, Swindon. The others, aren't. Hint - it's also a character in Alice in Wonderland...

Finally, one of them is a form of transport that Thursday is told about when her father offers to leave her in a different timestream, in, er, LIAGB (I think). Nevertheless, you ought to be able to get it. It's the bugger that looks modern, is all I'm saying. 

Hope this helps...
