Hang on a tick, I went back to the beginning and found this at the end of January.
2) Does "0) A common substance of physical reality" imply that it is neither Animal, nor Vegetable, nor Mineral? - No implication but vegetable and animal, with no mineral as far as I am aware.
Then we get on Feb 15
0) OK It's almost wholly mineral
So we seem to be looking for something that started with no mineral and then became almost wholly mineral. Lot's wife? Are we talking Swindon & smiting?

A false conclusion. the quote quoted is from bunyip's reply to a question, whereas the other quote quoted is from OB in the current game. (The answer to the first was chocolate.

I reluctantly admit that I've been wrapping my elderly knees with the Ceremonial Cloak Of Questioneer, bequeathed to me nearly two years ago on April 25, 2012 at 11:40pm by SM, so after a quick trip to the basement to retrieve the Pink Cardboard Box of Maximum Security, the answer is secured and the questions commence.
