Did I really put Mark Spitz? I knew damn well it was Michael Phelps!! FGS. 😂

Ah well, brain fade happens I expect. 🙄

Well done one and all. Great game @Mi-Amigo.... onto the next one

[RafaC]

Another Red Thinker goes to my trophy room 😁

Well done everybody!

[lewys-gp]

I was thinking if any animal was going to have cube-shaped droppings, it must be the weirdest one of all 😂. But, obviously not.

Well done, all. Cheers, @Mi-Amigo.
