I don't have time to work on this, so I'm just going to throw my guess out there, because I have to go shopping for furniture. Don't mistake this for struggling, as I only had two minutes.

Chino?

Large brains, my friend.

Sorry I wouldn't know about breasts or lack thereof (which I'm happy with either way).

Bisophere 2. Tucson, Arizona?



What is the real point of these things anyway? To prove we can live in ecological harmony, but by basically compromising the hell out of ourselves. And all of that is thrown out the window when Mother Nature chimes in: tornados, floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, oh my!

I figured this one out just prior to starting in on the biographies of all current and former players for the Washington Wizards:

That would be the Edison Memorial Tower in the Menlo Park area of Edison, New Jersey (both are named for Thomas Alva Edison, the "Wizard of Menlo Park"). The 131-foot tall tower is at the exact spot where the Menlo Park laboratory was located.

Here's another one where a wizard once lived:

Umgawa is added to my list of players of this game that I hate. I thought that was a challenging puzzle. You bastard.

McNeil Island in Puget Sound, Washington.

The island has a land area of 17.177 km² (6.6319 sq mi), and had a population of 1,516 residents as of the 2000 census. ;)

I'm not sure who the wizard who lived there was. The Birdman of Alcatraz?

Charles Manson lived there as a ward of the state (prisoner). Was he a wizard?
