In this game, a key sentence hides a single, everyday word. The word can be found by accociating over this key sentence. Example:
Hitchcock mastered the diplodocus.
Hitchcock was a director, and he directed among others, a movie called "the Birds". The word "master" would vaguely hint at Hitchcock as a director. Now, the birds are decendants from the dinosaurs. If I tell you I'm looking for an 9 letter word, that word could be, and in this case is, "Evolution".
The first one to guess correctly, gets to compose and ask a new riddle.
Always tell how many letter are in the word.
Ok, first one:
For Henry Ford, programming was way down the line. (8)

I met a goldfish who remembered meeting me before, but I had forgotten about that.

The guessing is the easy part; coming up with a new riddle is much harder! I'm going to be heading home in a few minutes, and I may not be online later tonight, so if anyone else has a riddle ready to go, please feel free to take my turn.
OK, never mind that. Here's one that shouldn't be too hard:
"These spammers will be the death of me," grumbled Caesar. (5)
Now you may have to wait a little while for me to tell you whether you've guessed correctly...

Nope again. The word I'm looking for is something with which you're all quite familiar.

All right, another clue, in the interest of this game surviving a little longer: The word is somewhere on the page you are viewing right now.
Today is a good day for pie.
