I had already checked when I posted; I just meant that when I saw "stitches" I thought of Johnson & Johnson, then Samuel Johnson, then figured the question was being clever and this had to be correct. Again, I apologize for causing you extra aggravation.
Hi lindap -
Not to worry about causing any "extra aggravation", no apology needed at all. I'd rather make sure everything is done accurately - and I learned something... There's a R.W. Johnson University Hospital and affiliated Medical School here in NJ - and I had wondered where that name came from.

Thanks for the game jwatcher! You're a good kitty! And congratulations to coachgold!
As for why I said Sue, I know the song well and was hoping nobody would associate that name with a clue that was obviously about a male.
Hi there BobF -
Glad that ec helped you out! And thanks for your kind words.
Your reasoning about "Sue" was quite interesting. I'm not sure how they came up with that name for the t-rex skeleton, but I did come across the story of the song (written by Shel Silverstein) in preparing this.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 1st place standing for most of the TD - a very unfamiliar place for me. I'm happy with my top 5 at the finish.
Congratulations to Coachgold and the other medal winners!
My pleasure, sillymonkey and glad you found it enjoyable and accessible, and that you finished on a happy note.

Ah, the man of the hour!
Extra congrats on this being your first win.
I echo your congrats to the other podium finishers and participants.
I Survived TD #311 and all I got was this ... pretty awesomely unique T-shirt.
Thanks jwatcher! As you might have noticed, I rarely participate in TDs any more, partly due to my schedule. I make exceptions for ones that I think are easy and straightforward to play and have great questions that I would enjoy trying to answer. Yours hit all the buttons.
Look forward to your next one!

Hello dhkendall -
Well, glad to be of service in hosting this TD that enticed your entry! I know schedules can get busy and it's cool that you took the time to participate.
Glad you liked the "t-shirt." I noticed that it seems as though we honor participation with such virtual rewards and I thought it might be fun just to see what I could come up with.
This was a wonderful TD. It was a pleasure to participate in it. I will wear my new t-shirt proudly and display my new clock in place where all my guests can admire it!
