Alliteration by Letter - C

i tried colon cancer too

I would suggest that chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery can all be used to cure cancers

but the title of the quiz is "alliteration by letter c" not "alliteration by the a hard c sound"

Or just "choc chip"

They're basically religions that have been set up on the basis that when Western people came to the islands they were brought in food and other supplies by plane without ever seeming to do any recognisable work. People on the islands assumed that in order for more planes to arrive they had to do what the Westerners were doing, and the main thing they noticed them doing with obvious consequence was building runways for the planes to land on. So they built runways for more planes to come and land on, but of course none came. Lots of them are still going today. Other examples of ideas that seem nonsensical (and are if you understand what is going on, but seem intuitively right if you don't) are tribes that believe that batteries are sacred because they make machines work (seemingly by magic). One tribe in particular sometimes tattoos themselves with battery acid for this reason. The beliefs are pretty bizarre, though I would argue that the same can be said of most Western religions.

I think the "of" may disqualify it.

Yeah, that one was way out of left field.

Never heard of them. Colombian cartel was the only guess I could come up with.

Unless you read the books... They are a good read (once you get past the first half of the first book).

That is actually a completely different game, which has a square board.

ad-litera not ad-sonant or something

Yeh, there just weren't enough real alliterations I imagine.
