[Tim B]

7 and 9, please.

Best wishes,
Tim B.

[Guerri Stevens]

I vote for 9 and 16.

Guerri

[Dodi Schultz]

Lots of animals!

I think, this time, I'm going with the first and the last, just because
they're both so utterly unlikely. That's #1 and #17.

--Dodi

[Daniel B. Widdis]

4 and 5 seem believable.

--
Dan

[Judy Madnick]

I'll go with the horses (but I really did read'em all!):

1 and 2.

(In the Albany area for a week)

[Jim Hart]

I will probably regret ignoring the plants and animals but instead I'm
putting my money on:

3. to suit my sudden mood changes; and

14. because it seems so eminently practical to have something that
not only deflects light sabres but also does up your sandals

Jim

[Tim Lodge]

Toni

One short and one long:

9 and 13 please.

-- Tim L

[Wayne Scott, MD]

3 & 17, please.

[Paul Keating]

I don't believe any of them. 1 and 9 are popular.

--
Paul Keating
The Hague

[Wayne Scott, MD]

3 & 15, please.

[Tony Abell]

I sort of like 5 and 7 (not that I believe them, mind you).

[Guerri Stevens]

Were you intending to vote twice? In your first message you voted for 3
and 17 and in your second you voted for 3 and 15.
