This was a rather depressing round from my point of view; I don't remember ever seeing a D8 before,
but obviously everyone likes whales!

Chuck Emery and Tony Abell both have an unnatural five, but Tony is way higher in the rolling
scores, so the next deal goes to Tony. The highest natural scores are four each for Efrem and Chris.

Over to you, Tony!

1: [Hung.] a river-bed.
Voted for by nobody
FROM Dave Cunningham who voted *13* and 17, and scores 0 + 2 = 2*

2: [Scots] foul odor; stench.

I wonder if Mike keeps statistics on who tends to vote for who else's
definitions?

You didn't vote for mine, but Chris did, and I think he does that
frequently.
