Quote Of The Day

Scanning a lot of the coverage of the "Wordplay" movie, opening today in NYC, I found this interesting quote from Patrick Creadon.... obviously he's spent a lot of time in our world, but how he can fit this answer into 12 squares is a little beyond my ken...
Will mentioned a really great clue the other day, which was, "It turns into a different story." It was a like a 12-letter word, and the answer was, "Spiral Staircase." Isn't that great?

Ha! Oh precision, preschmism. 15 is like 12, just a little bigger. How many people outside of constructors actually do the counting and notice the difference? It must be fairly few, given how many of these seem to get through the editing process. (I know, this was a quote, but we've seen review titles with this kind of mistake, haven't we?)

It'd work as one of your beloved rebus entries: SPIRAL STAIR[CASE].
