6. The sheep was this until she donated to the Red Cross blanket drive.

Answer: ono

They repeatedly asked Nehemiah to leave the work God had given him and come to meet them. They wanted to tell him that the job was too big, and he might as well not bother. Nehemiah stayed true to his task. You might say that he didn't want to be caught in the plain of o, no!

10. The texture of satin, or polished wood, or glossy tile, or baby's skin, etc.

Answer: smooth

11. The second longest river in Africa, or a Michael Crichton book.

Answer: congo

Ozone in the lower atmosphere is a pollutant which irritates the lungs. Ozone in the upper atmosphere protects the earth from ultraviolet rays.

13. The state bird of Minnesota, haha.

Ha! "The proof is in the pudding" is actually a mutation of, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating," meaning that the value of something depends on whether it has quality when put to use. Of course each side wants proof in a courtroom.
