[Dixonary] Rd. 2900: Pogonlogy results
Despite holding the voting open for about 12 hours, I only got one
additional vote, so it did not change the results. Four people who submitted definitions didn't vote. Anyway, when all it done and dusted, Johnny Barrs is the clear winner of the deal, despite not knowing or guessing the word. I thought his worms might attract a lot of interest, being so logical, which earned him 4 natural votes. Keith Hale gets the coveted runner up spot with three unnatural. And, probably because so few voted, my Oxforddictionaries.com definition of "the study of beards" skated by with a D3. So take it away, Johnny! Nancy 1. The study of gravestones and memorials to the dead. Tim Lodge Votes: Judy Madnick, Tony Abell 0+2=2 2. the study of deep-sea worms (pogonophores) that cluster around warm-water vents in very deep ocean trenches Johnny Barrs Votes: Tim Bourne, Mike Shefler, Ryan McGill, Effrem Mallech 0+4=4 3. The study of writing implements. Tony Abell 2*+0=2 4. When dissimilar or opposite terms, or words, can mean the same thing; as in "the house burned up" and the house burned down." Stephen Dixon Votes: Tim Lodge 0+1=1 5. the study of motion, or of the energy used to produce motion. Mike Shefler Votes: Tim Lodge 0+1=1 6. study of an animal phylum restricted to the deep sea and remarkably common in certain habitats there. Judy Madnick Votes: Tim Bourne, Ryan McGill 0+2=2 7.
