At first the answer to 49D had a slightly salacious sound to me. Nuns wear habits, but I was not aware that monks' robes were also called habits so it seemed a little racy until I googled it! Also, "GIRLIES?" GAL PALS made sense for the clue. I don't know a soul (male or female) who refer to their women friends as "girlies."
@The X-Phile I found this puzzle to be a bit more difficult than most Monday puzzles, so I agree with the many folks who commented similarly. What I find irksome is when someone says something like "Easiest crossword puzzle ever! I finished it in less that 10 minutes!" In other words, "I'm smarter than most of you." Your comment falls in the second category.
I never comment. Well, rarely on crosswords. Came to say this was my fastest time, ever. Not a good, nor bad thing, as I enjoy spending time on the puzzles each morning, so finishing quickly doesn't always bring joy. Back to the grind and all that. However, even before solving so quickly, I knew I'd want to comment on finding it hard to imagine how an Egyptian cobra could be considered a tricky clue. Seems as if the answer to it appears, in one way or another, nearly weekly.
@Grant so does that mean you're pro fascism?
@Pax Ahimsa Gethen I thought the clue should have read "Spanish for girl friend"
I found the scribbled in boxes/answers distracting (my eyesight isn't what it used to be) so my answer to 49A could have been "SandeMilton"
