Stalemate in scrabble. The computer has a V left. I have an N. Neither of us can find any legal moves.
You know they say "mad as a bucket of frogs"? Well, this is an actual bucket of frogs. Nineteen frogs in one bucket, collected and returned safely to their home in the course of de-silting @kathryn 's frogpond.
