Burrich who! Hehehe, that is one odd-sounding sneeze! Nuytsia I don't get the Thymara one either. I'd love to listen to that recording that Mervi posted to learn how to pronounce Thymara (I always pronounced it to rhyme with Sahara), but I'll have to wait till I get home where I have a computer with a speaker. Maybe a different pronunciation would help with the joke??
Albertosaurus, I'd never even heard of a Tom Swifty before! They're great; I love them! Your Robin Hobb one made me laugh out loud (and get a slightly accusing look from my office mate), so it's definitely worth 1000 points! I also loved the Marie Curie one and "I might as well be dead" Tom croaked. Oh and off-handedly, hahaha!
Wait, I think I get it! Thymara is meant to sound like "tomorrow"! How did I miss that? But wow, that's quite a stretch on the pronunciation. And groan-factor there is quite high, I must say.
But nice job on coming up with these, Nuytsia. I still haven't thought of any myself. Will keep at it, though...
