[OhNoAPacer]

Would it be what the remains of the dissected items are used for?

It would

 

[OhNoAPacer]

I would give a clue but Xenophon's last statement does that job for me. All I will say is don't take the word dissection in it's biological meaning.

 

[MotCO]

[xotGD]

Hamilton?

Is the correct answer. Over to you...

 

[Calthrop]

Thank you. (Hamilton came to my mind, largely through association with the short-lived and late-in-time Bermuda Railway -- always internal-combustion-worked -- which ran tramway-fashion through the streets of said city.)

What is the connection between Archibold Armstrong, Roland the Farter, Jane Foole, and Will Somers?

 

[xotGD]

Your question to set.

[Calthrop]

Is Roland the Farter still available for bookings?

Would need to be contacted via a medium, I think -- he died eight or nine hundred years ago.
