In the sacred secret Wombat school of Wicca, which does everything
upside-down, the WOM is the Holy Womb of Mother Goddess who gave birth
to everything, and the BAT is longer than it is wide, therefore
symbolizing the phallus of Father God, and joined they make lots of
little Wombats.

In case Ginger's advice on O and 0 didn't help: My id code wouldn't
verify the first dozen times I tried it. Then I *typed* instead of
copying-and-pasting from the .txt where I'd saved it, and that worked.
Talisman already posted her WOMBAT answers in
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/the_old_crowd/message/4137 but
I was hoping someone here is a clever person who can set up the WOMBAT
questions as a Y!group poll.
Talisman in http://groups.yahoo.com/group/the_old_crowd/message/4121
quoted the OUTSTANDING and EXCEEDS certificates. The Acceptable says:
<< We are pleased to tell you that you have passed your Grade 1
W.O.M.B.A.T. Your knowledge of the workings of the wizarding world
demonstrates real magical potential. We hope that you will continue to
study further and attempt W.O.M.B.A.T. Grade 2 in due course. >>
In addition, the FRAME says WOMBAT GRADE I.
<< Maybe elves have to be really malicious to earn an -er name. Who
knows? If we can get out to Voldemort's place perhaps we'll meet
Kreeper, Seether, Ripper, and the whole nasty little gang. :) >>
I like that. Horrer, Terrer, Anger, Winter ...
Has no one yet suggested that the name 'Hokey' was Rowling's message
to the obsessed that giving all House Elves names ending in 'y' is a
bit hokey? (" 1. Mawkishly sentimental; corny. 2. Noticeably
contrived; artificial." according to American Heritage Dictionary at
