Clarification of Question by itsalphaandome-ga on 10 Jan 2005 02:31 PST

Well done nemtudom! I know this doesn't exactly fit the question but
the quizmaster has made mistakes before, and I'm confident this is the
answer he's looking for.  If you'd like to post this in the Answer
box, I'd be happy to accept it. Thanks.

Beats me! If you'd said 8 letters, 6 of which are the letter a, I'd
guess you were talking about "The Cataaaaa" by A. E. van Vogt.

I'm not a Google Researcher, just a guy off the street; so I can't
post Answers, just Comments, which cost nothing. Say, what kind of
quiz is this for? You aren't trying to *cheat*, are you?

As if!
