My stars, it's like the '69 Mets. It's Truman defeating Dewey. The Beatles breaking up.
Zero for 12!? Get him off the field.

16. I listed them a couple weeks ago, and my mind has gone to mush since. Notre Dame, Army, BYU, UMass. This could be completely wrong.

17. Winnie the Pooh.

23. What Big said. If you want the detailed symbolism, myrrh relates to death, its related to embalming I believe and is tied to Jesus future death on the cross. I don't remember the theological meaning of the others. I note that Big is correct, 3 gifts, but no specific number to the Wise Men, how many there were isn't specified in the bible.

25. Not exactly sure. maybe - What Time is it? My time/clock goes/is I have no idea. I know Uhr relates to time, and Wieviel I don't know exactly but it is an interrogatory, maybe "how many"? I'm sure Herr Wirechief will school me.

25..You are on track, Knight. The Germans use "how much" where we say "what". (One adds an "e" to wieviel for "how many".)
"Geht vor" is their way of saying "runs fast".

23..I suspect Big knows he has avoided the "symbolism" aspect.
Gold, because He is...
Frankincense, because He is...
Myrrh, because He is... (Here Knights is seeing something that indirectly answers this).

14..Well, it's a painting; does that help?

19..We welcome Meyers back to the fold, after his successful battle with VD, gout and pattern baldness.
You are correct with rabies. The 2nd American problem is not a disease.

21..About travel

14..Video: The Last da Vinci | Christie's’

15..It's Charles Evan Hughes that's driving K9 nuts.

16..Not as much mush as you suspect, Knights.

17..Pinot, Knights and Big must be talking about the WW2 Prime Minister.

18..K9 with a delicate stomach.

19..England lacks big predators like bears, who may inflict hurts on the feeders and neighbors.

20..Pinot should know, for bears too are cannibalistic.

21..The residents drive on the left.

22..Meyers & VAUC score a Win.

23..A King, God, a Mortal

24..Drive and K9 reach back to 1960.

I see "B" gave you more problems. It must be fatigue after the first 13.
