I'm sure everyone agrees that marijuana is weed but I don't think Kristina had that in mind.

The definition as a plant that's growing where it's not wanted is subjective — one person's weed is another person's plant.

Well done, Stoday.
 
It wasn’t precisely the answer the professional gardener gave,
but your answer has the same meaning.

The professional gardener said, “ Whatever the gardener chooses to be a weed becomes a weed”.
(Unless it is illegal, then it is always a weed).

Over to you Stoday.  :clap;

This made me snort coffee out of my nose and now the cat is looking at me oddly.

Cats always seem to strongly disapprove of anything unusual happening, coffee snorting out the nose must be one of those things.   Put your cat in the sun, it will give you eye-squeezes again in no time.

What's the connection between the world's most expensive coffee and cats?

Over to you, cath-hater.

Extremely rare and coveted, Philippine Alamid Kopi Luwak coffee is produced by civets, a relative of the mongoose, who have a taste for the sweet, red coffee cherries that contain the beans. The beans pass through the civet after fermenting in the stomach and that's what gives the coffee its unique taste and aroma. Collected from the jungle floor, then thoroughly washed and dried.

Costs around £200 a kilogram in the UK.

I couldn't think of a good question so I thought I might change it up a little. Hope Kitkatz doesn't mind. Can anyone interpret the pictures below?

House - got the last one correct !

Nat - close but not quite right.

Here are the answers:

1 bigger and better
2 top secret
3 feeling on top of the world
4 up to a point
5 for instance

So I guess I'll pass it over to House for getting the only one right.

Since HOD didn't come up with anything in a timely fashion, I'll put up another one for you guys.

1961 was the last year to read the same back to front and upside-down. What will be the next year?
