Riddle clue

Grant, I hope you were kidding when you used the clue, "She blinded me with ____" to elicit the answer to one of your riddles. The answer was "silence," but in the Thomas Dolby song, what she blinded me with was "science." Maybe you were just being clever--and so was Martha, to reply with "silence." Or was this an instance of one of those misheard song lyrics?

Loved the riddles!

Cheers,
Pat

I am guessing he was pulling on his ear as in charades, but we just couldn't see it through the radio/ipod, etc.

PatR, my cohost is brill, and used to thinking on many different levels at once. But I think you're giving us both way too much credit.

Thanks for reminding me of that song, though. And now, so we can all get rid of our new earworm together . . .
