The next deal is for Tony Abell with 7 natural points. The real winners
are Tim Lodge and Dan Widdis with 4 natural points each, and Johnny
Barrs with 4 unnatural points. Two people guessed that the real
definition was 17, the colorless, liquid hydrocarbon.

Please be patient because Tony tells me he won't be able to present a
new word until after 8 p.m. EST tonight (Thursday).
