Or is there another way to read the clue?Jim Finderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08484757199667048774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797119770533435005.post-61406768303510016002008-11-07T13:11:00.000-05:002008-11-07T13:11:00.000-05:00I was on the right wavelength with 1A, but I'm a l...I was on the right wavelength with 1A, but I'm a long-time comic fan and the cartoon character with his own club that I thought of was not BAMM-BAMM but ALLEY OOP.Norrin2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08556797281238202366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797119770533435005.post-33116536089101750832008-11-07T11:23:00.000-05:002008-11-07T11:23:00.000-05:00ah, my ERIE rule has led somebody astray. sorry ab...ah, my ERIE rule has led somebody astray. sorry about that. that one was mostly a gimme for me--i filled in MA_A, since i've seen it spelled MAYA also. but of all the olympians, the only one who is actually the child of zeus and hera is ares. hephaestus is also said to be hera's son, but not zeus's.
