dizzydesi Oct 26, 2002	Good teaser but I think you would be better adding a hint.
adamant545 Oct 26, 2002	COOL
pemalova Oct 26, 2002	There is another answer. Using the first letter of each word, you get E,S,R,U,F,E,S. After F, it appears to repeat. So you could say that the next word would be rhapsody because that starts with an R, as the order goes.
flipper Oct 27, 2002	Liked it alot but I think it would be better with a hint
jimbo Oct 27, 2003	Nice combination of language and number. I like it!
