Submitted with the usual fear and trepidation.

As nailed by five members (at least there were no DQs) "labryinth" refers to
fish with air sacs. I didn't find it in a dictionary, but I did find it in a
number of icthyological references, including Wikipedia
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiration_organ> . For those interested, I
came across the word when researching why late-season Canadian walleye (they
call them pickerel up there) have bursting air sacs when brought to the
surface from depths over 35 feet or so.

Unless I have committed a grievous error, that makes Tim Bourne the next
dealer whose chung in teak definition attracted five natural votes.

Congratulations, Tim.

for by Lodge, Abell, Cunningham and Bourne.

created by Peter Samson of MIT. Voted for by Dixon, Hart, Morgan and Hale.

I like but can't really approve of the arithmetic at the very end, where
you have 0 + 0 = 2...
