[Dixonary] Round 2949 CORPOSANT Results

No delays this morning! Three grandsons are still asleep, and no one wants
to be taken to the station. The extended deadlines meant that we got a few
more defs than has been usual lately, and everyone who submitted a def
voted.

Dan Widdis is our new dealer with an unnatural 6 for his meteorological
spectral line, while Mike Shefler in the real winner with 5 natural
points. Dan and two others guessed that CORPOSANT is another word for St
Elmo's Fire, and Johnny Barrs already knew that, so was DQ.

I hope I now won't have to deal again until next year!

Take it away, Dan.
