Round 3576 results!

[Shani Naylor]

I'm closing the voting early as everyone who submitted a def has voted (plus 4 more). And I apologise for not extending the initial deadline. While I like a snappy game, I should have given more players the opportunity to submit a def.

That said, our winner is Mike S with 6 natural votes for his military vehicle. Efrem was runner up with a similar def. 

Hughie is apparently a god of weather, which Johnny knew. Although it's from this part of the world, I had never heard of it (maybe I should get out more).

Take it away Mike!
