Is it Mt. Everest? (hopefully I spelled that right.)

Damn you, Bala! -cries-

We have a winner! Bala's turn.

Hahahaha! A cleverly timed PM to distract the demon. HA HA HA.

Ahem. *regains composure* I guess now I have to come up with something. Darn. I knew there was a flaw in my plan. Okay. How about this?

A man-made thing. (Not a living thing so no one wastes a guess on a baby.)

Is it relatively new? (Damn you, damn you and your PMs!)

(heh heh)

To be clear: the specific thing is relatively new. As a class, it's been around for maybe 120 years.

(So not funny. I totally thought of Everest first. Why, oh, why didn't I just ignore my urge to check my PMs and just click on Post first?)

Ahem. -cough- Would you say that this thing, specific or general-wise, is a household item? Like, can it be found in just about any home?

Generally no. I suppose one could find it "in" the home. But that's not how one would think of it.

Is it bigger than a microwave oven? (I would normally ask if it was bigger than a bread box but I realize that bread boxes aren't terribly common anymore.)

It is bigger than both a bread box & microwave oven (combined).

And Ishtar had a good idea. That's 3 down, 17 to go.

Is it an automobile?

You've identified the general. Now all you need is the specific. Shouldn't be too hard now.

4 down, 16 to go.

(I have chores to do. I'll check in as often as I can tonight. Keep guessing.)

Is it the internal combustion engine powered automobile?

Is it YOUR car?

No & no. (But I wish it was my car. Aurora is close...)

6 down, 14 to go.
