Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: Hangman!

As well as being an insect, the answer is one of my favourite TV shows.

How do you solve these just by knowing the positions of the vowels?

Re: Hangman!

The vowel positions narrow the possibilities down quite a lot. In the games we've played so far, I'd struggle to find a word that fits the clues but wasn't the answer.

This time it was the cold clue that gave it to me though.

(Assuming we have the right answer tongue)
