    TOPIC: Which Word Doesn't Belong? (comments by Evelyn C. Leeper)

    Which word doesn't belong in this list:

    allays, arrays, assays, aways, bays, belays, brays, clays, copays,
    days, decays, delays, drays, essays, flays, frays, gays, grays,
    hays, inlays, jays, lays, mays, nays, okays, pays, plays, prays,
    rays, relays, repays, says, shays, slays, spays, splays, sprays,
    stays, strays, sways, todays, trays, unlays, ways

    The answer will be in next week's issue. [-ecl]

    ROT13ed for those who want to solve it themselves (assuming my answer
    is right):
    Fnlf vf gur bayl bar gung qbrfa'g eulzr jvgu gur erfg.

    That's my guess, too.

    TOPIC: METROPOLIS (film comments by Evelyn C. Leeper)

    Our movie-and-book group watched METROPOLIS (1927) this month, and
    read (or tried to read) METROPOLIS by Thea Von Harbou.  Whether it
    was Von Harbou's writing, or the translation, I found the book
    over-flowery and then some (and I was not the only one).

    I just glanced at the first few sentences of the original German. It's ultraviolet prose.
