How about a [hide]cloak of invisibility[/hide]?

a nice idea, but i don't think it addresses the density issue properly; although the cloak is probably lighter than the special-ops ninja it hides, the cloak isn't made of the ninja, but rather, some uber-polymer

I wasn't talking density, but paleness. Although that may not apply either. ???

I'd say either [hide]a feather, or vapour.[/hide]

I think BNC, aero_guy and Speaker are right on on this one.

The rest, I fear, are adrift in a sea of confusion of titanic proportions.

I agree with that, but agreeing isn't much fun in itself, right?  :D
By the way, I still don't get aero_guy's post.

If you got my last reference, you should have gotten aero_guy's hint.  They're related - and we're not talking Da Vinci.

Now it seems to me he was talking about DC. In that case I'm not too worried I didn't get it, it's not a gap in education in my opinion.

Yeah, I seriously hate that guy and was a little embarrassed to reference him.  Besides, the movie was bunk.  Die already!

Oh! I think I get it now - [hide]ice[/hide]?

there are many hints above that will guide you, just scroll through easily.

I can't!  :-/   Okay, I'll try again...

Perhaps the movie in question did not infested Croatia - at least not to the extent it did other countries.

Demark - your answer is sort of correct. It is just that the intended answer is more specific.

I saw the movie. 3 times. I bought the cassette! Am I dumb?

Title: Re: Lighter than what I am made of
Post by DeMark on Nov 25th, 2003, 7:05am
Oh! (I like this Oh! word.)
Is it maybe a [hide]glacier[/hide]?

Title: Re: Lighter than what I am made of
Post by aero_guy on Nov 25th, 2003, 7:10am
Add some time to your answer.

Title: Re: Lighter than what I am made of
Post by Speaker on Nov 25th, 2003, 11:31pm
It was a glacier.

But, I vote that your original answe is correct. And, the other answer is just a manifestation of the one and only true answer that you have already guessed.

But, that's just me.
