Yeah, it was on the challenging side. It’s Saturday. Many of the clues were tough, but I thought all of them were fair. I chuckled at a fair few: DOGIES, IRS, BSIDE, ZOMBIEMOVIES. Ironically, despite having grown up about 75 miles from London, Ontario, it took me forever to figure out the clue wasn’t about the one in the UK.

Um, if lemurs only exist in Madagascar, how come I see them in zoos all over the place? Do the zoo lemurs not exist? Are they holographic lemur projections?

Reposting this because it appears the emus are currently digesting my original attempt. If lemurs only exist on Madagascar, then why do I keep seeing them in zoos all over the place? Do the zoo lemurs not exist? Are they holographic virtual lemurs? More emu bait down here. And a little more because I’ve been burned once today.

I was equal parts horrified and amused by TVs being an item mounted above a fireplace. If you don’t know why, google tv too high. So many people are egregious but unknowing offenders.

I’m not saying this isn’t an appropriate way to clue it in a crossword puzzle, but I’ll point out for completeness that the clue for 30A is technically incorrect. The entire human genome can be stored in about 700 megabytes (though in practice it isn’t). However, our genes comprise only a small fraction of the genome and don’t require that amount of storage.
