Uh, oh, it's an Erik Agard Friday puzzle - red alert! Dictionaries and thesauri up! Jean was highly impressed with the look of the grid (and you can see it, as usual, at xwordinfo.com). Mike was more impressed with the difficulty: he had to scan so far down the list of clues to find one that he could answer that he inadvertently rolled into Thursday! There were a few outre clues - 38A, Product from Bevel or Oui the People, RAZOR; 31D, Language in which you might be greeted "Hullo, hoo are ye?", SCOTS (not SCOTTISH); and 13A, Pop up a lot, perhaps?, NEWDAD. We give it a 4.5 squares on the JAMCR scale.For Fun-Fact-Friday, Jean explores the origins of riddle-me-ree, and Mike discusses the 5 pillars of Islam.We love feedback!
