We now have a respectable 13 definitions for our word MOUNTWEAZEL,

deadline, which is 36 hours from now (I'll post the actual times later...
I'm in a hurry to get out of the house).
Happy voting!

If it isn't 6 there should be a word for that, so 6 gets one of my votes. The other goes to #10 because it sounds like it could be a flower and the NZ connection.
