I said you guys are clever. (Although posts don't allways show it! ;) )

Well, why not. I'd still go with 2 stuffs interprt.What hell, same result.

I think usual thought is that other go on earth roundish surface, while aeroplane, yeah, it flies! That's different, wow!
Car; well you can fit few people in a taxi.
Bus is a car.
You can have private airplanes etc.
Still not so convinced about this, I think this is not very good question.

Yes, that's it. I must be too ego centric, but who wouldn't. You, wildcat, you! ;)

Same way for me. Aceh distracted a bit.
First I started thinking about continents, nah
religions, nah makes no sense.
Good question because it's clear, bad because it tests knowledge too.

I can see the light!
Hell, that wasn't so hard after all, was distracted by 6^2=36
4*9=36
guess I was thinking chinese. A bit disappointing not to get it. Sometimes you just lock into a solution and are blind to others.

Now it's simple when you say it.
These are the ones you just see immediately, or are trapped into trying different combinations. I was thinkin if gilarae is an animal, Is it? ;)
Didn't give much thought for it starting with a.

Other interesting ones were the one as:
light-window to air-wind/breath
(breath)
I think instinct answer would be wind. but is it really so that wind goes through air...physics.
breath because function of window(sux)is to let light in as for breath to let air in. Playing with words a bit question.

That cc, dd, ee...ff -was most satisfying to solve.
Those all blips are blaps, some blops are blaps, therefore -are just plain brap.
