Deusovi
and there go my two remaining clues
John Dvorak
77 dies, peppa the pig
Deusovi
and both of those are correct
Gareth McCaughan
2 was PEORIA and dies
John Dvorak
75 dies, pectoris
Gareth McCaughan
1:56 AM
clearly 75 was PECTORALIS
John Dvorak
74 dies, pepper spray
Gareth McCaughan
(surely that rather than PECTORIS?)
John Dvorak
... or maybe it was pectoralis
Gareth McCaughan
(Peppa is called "Peppa Pig" not "Peppa the Pig". "Pig" is a surname as well as a species.)
North
sorry I need to change my mode of electronic this might take a couple minutes
I'm not dead
John Dvorak
1:57 AM
... oh
Gareth McCaughan
incidentally, rare pig is a bad idea; you can get tapeworms and things
North
Unless I don't respond for like 15 minutes then I'm dead
Gareth McCaughan

John Dvorak
Wikipedia says it's "pectoris"
