AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

• ImNotJohn
  Well, that's what my previous question had had in mind, so I don't feel too guilty about asking 2 questions in a row - and I did leave over an hour between guesses.

  So the next one is ABSTRACT with Animal Connections

• ImNotJohn
  [FGZstar] Human animal? - YES, mostly.

• ImNotJohn - Well this is going well
  [Rosie] Once apon a time? - YES (with slight reservations)
• FGZstar - A Hans Christian Anderson story?
• ImNotJohn - Aaah, you've spoiled it.
  [FGZstar] Danish and Scandinavian books? - NO
• Raak - On a religious theme?

• ImNotJohn
  [FGZstar] Animals & Humans? - Animals are not significant in the answer
