Grandpa Longneck in the original had no speaking role; just a simple chuckle.
Chuckle he did, but according to
www.dictionary.com "speak" can be defined simply as
to utter words or articulate sounds with the ordinary voice
he still "spoke" (using the vocal chords to express an emotion). I looked it up prior to my answer to make sure I didn't post a wrong answer, as I only had one guess. Other definitions are: "
to express or make known with the voice" or "
To produce a characteristic sound: ". I just think this question deserves a second look, based on the wording.
The spokes dinosaur in LBT 7 never made a *sound* (at least there is no evidence of it) yet he is creditted.
Since this is the first "test run" of LBT Jeopardy, I just want to make sure we can all improve on eliminating "loopholes" in questions and answers. According to your question, "Tickles" would also be correct, as he never muttered a "word" in any human language, either. I still think the "Spokes Dinosaur" is the more accurate answer to this question. I'm curious to hear what everyone thinks about this one. I can post up a video of the only scenes where this character appears, if you're interested.
Please don't misunderstand me. Darkhououmon, congrats on nailing the answer! B) I just want to make sure that questions are as fully-understood as possible. I interpretted it to mean, by definition of the word "speak", No Vocal Expression At All was uttered by the character.
By the way, I'll have the next board up soon.
