Everything -- and nothing! -- sounds right to me!

I'll vote for:

1. (Zool.) the garfish.
and
14. a Korean dish of marinated cuttlefish, usually combined with _kimchi_ (cabbage) and _guksu_ (noodles).

although I doubt that either is correct.

Like John, I'm not sure which two aren't entertaining.

But the rogue molecule and elliptical oath certainly entertain me... 2

I was hoping no one would notice that I'd cut and pasted from the last
round I dealt! There are of course 17 defs.

As for the numbers for our lunch, your guess is as good as mine. It's for
an association of WWII burns and plastic surgery patients, the Guinea Pig
Club, of which my late father-in-law was a member. We're expecting 8 of
the surviving Guinea Pigs, along with family and friends of the Club. The
social secretary, who is one of the youngest survivors at 88, tends to
invite everyone connected with the Club, so we never really know how many
we're getting until the day.
