Way back when.... any response by proposer was considered to contain "hidden" clues.

Still think the clues deal with the gauge of train tracks.

Trace William 10,000 Compression No guess...just bringing the list to this page. Edited to add....No! Wait! I have a theory! WILLIAM Tell TRACED a picture of an apple onto a target then COMPRESSED 10,000 practice shots into a couple of hours before shooting the apple off of his sons head!

Anything to do with the deep sea? Deepwater oil wells? Atlantis?

A good way to remember classification breakdown is a mnenomic: Kings Play Chess On Fine Glass Stools = KPCOFGS = Kingdom into Phyla into Class into Order into Family into Genus and Species. That is really cool. I get a bit lost in the successions. I am not quite certain how it follows because the end is Species which seems like would possibly be the same as a number of the previous sections. I like the image of the Kings Playing Chess On a Fine Glass Stools. I see a white and black tiled floor, fancy pillars and King in burgundy velvet robes and a gold crown with a big belt like Santa. And those tights men have worn with curled up shoes. The other King is sitting at the bar height table across from him in yellow ochre shimmery robes.

That "Louisiana" reference would make us all - in the good ol' days be searching for oil wells, and BP execs with last name of William, and such..... Is there a town In LA, named "Deepwater"? Mayor is William? Population = 10,000. Main product is Compressors? I'll go check...... Point is: Be careful what you say. It WILL be used against you! LOL!

No to your question on a town in Louisiana called Deepwater, but Deepwater Horizon was the name of the oil rig that exploded. (and it really ISNT any part of the clue whatsoever..I promise[:D]!)

I might swing this back to fossils and see if poise bites. Ouch. They didn't get ruled out, I notice. 10000 years is one of the arbitrary divisions of fossil age? William was the name of your pet turtle?

Does this mean I have 3 of 4? I really don't want to google this, but I have nothing for William. Unless it is Bill, like duckbilled platypus. Fossils of? Willy? A fossilized willy has been found? [8D]

Yes - 2 of the clues ARE fossils. [:)] Now what?

Platypuses would be ok, platypii is on the way out, like octopii. I read somewhere that most linguists think octoupuses is fine. Anywho, back to the drawing board. Fossils, fossils...

[8D] Does this mean you dont have a gi? Hrmph It is a true William, a pure William, in all that the name encompasses. A mere Bill would never do! To save you from such negative thoughts in the morning, I shall offer you a clue. But first....are you sitting down? I could fail miserably at this ya know.....here goes..... no love for the haters, the haters mad cause I got floor seats at the Lakers see me on the fifty yard line with the Raiders met Ali he told me I'm the greatest I got the fever for the flavor of a crowd pleaser saunters off the thread...shaking her groove thang

One more almond windmill cookie and Im off to play with dreams. Rest well everyone, and I hope that song isnt stuck in your head for too too long[:)]

1) Trace 2) William 3) 10,000 4) Compression Wiki gives us number 3 - for sure and possibly number 4 - and maybe even number 2. 1 is still a "nothing." 3) Such a preserved specimen is called a "fossil" if it is older than some minimum age, most often the arbitrary date of 10,000 years ago. 4) Compression is a type of fossil 2) William Smith (1769-1839), an English canal engineer, observed that rocks of different ages (based on the law of superposition) preserved different assemblages of fossils, and that these assemblages succeeded one another in a regular and determinable order. He observed that rocks from distant locations could be correlated based on the fossils they contained. He termed this the principle of faunal succession. Smith, who preceded Charles Darwin, was unaware of biological evolution and did not know why faunal succession occurred. Biological evolution explains why faunal succession exists: as different organisms evolve, change and go extinct, they leave behind fossils. Faunal succession was one of the chief pieces of evidence cited by Darwin that biological evolution had occurred. -------- I'm thinking that there's a male fossil out there named "William," just like Eve and other human fossils that are one-namers. Howsoever..... with that "mascot" kinda clue, I'm looking for a team mascot that is a dinosaur AND named William. William & Mary had a mascot competition, but the dinosaur didn't "make" it. G'nite all.
