    I'd hate to be the kid's teacher trying to do the register - I remember having enough trouble with a girl called La-a

    A picture question - what's this? And no cheating with reverse image search...;)

    Yes, but what sort? :)

    When I first heard of them, my first thought was why would a gun be needed there?

    No - quite the opposite, to be deadly serious

    I thought the word 'deadly' might have given it away - maybe shorten it to 'dead'? Where would you expect to find them but not a gun?

    I would guess from the clues that it's a gun situated in a cemetary somewhere, but no idea where.

    It could have been anywhere really. The gun in the picture is a cemetery gun - used extensively in the 19th century in UK and USA to deter resurrection-men. They were set up near the foot of a grave on a swivelling base, and triggered by a tripwire looping around the grave. Any would-be body snatcher approaching soon found that he needed a grave himself.

    Over to you.

    Cheers BB. Ok. What is the average speed of an unladen European swallow ? <badger> For a bonus - if swallows didn't actually bring coconuts to England then who did and when ?
