Yes, mountain range, I guess it's too much to expect someone to guess which one, although this one is very famous.Moonbear said:It's some sort of mountain range, but I don't know which one. They all look the same to me from the sky.
I'll wait to see if someone guesses the right one, if not, I'll call it a tie between Russ & Moonbear.

What the heck? That is favoritism...russ says colorado and I say the rockys and moonbear says a mountain range? Colorado is a state not a good answer since not all of Colorado has mountains. A mountain range is too broad of an answer. Mine is clearly the best so far...
But since you say it is famous then I guess...the swiss alps?

It's the Himalaya's, Mt Everest is in the middle. Sooner or later by process of elimination someone would get it.Townsend said:Himalayas?
I will award you, Russ & Moonbear with the kill.

Are you always so broad in your answers? I need the type of cell to award any points

If anyone else guessed it, you probably wouldn't make them give more detail, would you?
Don't you feel special?

No, think about it...

Um...I don't know for sure. But...you are the biology guru and so I expect more from you. Being knowledgeable is a double edge sword my dear...but I am sure you're smart enough to get it anyways.

It's obviously a U.F.O going up a tunnel.

Meh, I don't play with cells in dishes, they're boring.Townsend said:No, think about it...

Moonbear said:Meh, I don't play with cells in dishes, they're boring.Well, I was trying to decide if there was some polarity to them or not. If they're not fibroblasts, then must be neural.
Edit: oops, yomamma was too fast for me.
See...you would have gotten it on your second guess...

I should have gotten it on my first guess, but for some reason I second-guessed myself and thought you wouldn't be that obvious putting neural cells up with a neurobiologist playing along.Townsend said:See...you would have gotten it on your second guess...![]()
