After I chose a famous horse for the "Guess Person Game", Friede suggested that it would have belonged better in a "Guess Animal Game". So why not give it a try? Let’s guess species rather than individuals. All kinds of animals are allowed, even extinct ones. The questions must be yes-no questions. An example: Q: Is it a mammal? A: Yes. Q: Can it fly? A: Yes. Q: Hippopotamus? A: No. Q: Bat? A: Yes! Start asking! ------------- He say nothing is quite what it seems; I say nothing is nothing (Peter Hammill) |

I don't want to argue with you every time. But they are not mammals despite what wiki says. Perhaps some scientists classify them as mammals and some don't. Nothing is cut and dried in nature.

When I was a kid we often had them in our garden. My parents lived in a house with a big garden until I was eight years old. We hardly had to buy any vegetables throughout the year, and there were plum, cherry, pear, apple and quince trees too. We also had red and black currants, gooseberries and strawberries; even a few tomato plants. We even grew some potatoes, though not enough for a year's supply. We shared the house with my grand parents on my mother's side. My grand dad bred pigeons and my father rabbits. And once a year we bought a pig and had it slaughtered. My mum made marmalade from many of the fruits, and also juice from the rhubarb in our garden. I loved that garden. Refugee can have the next go. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Yes, it was great. Sometimes a rabbit mother rejected her young, and we had to try to keep them alive by putting them on a blanket over the central heating. They looked like little blind mice. The first time one of the rabbits was slaughtered I refused to eat some of it at first, but I was persuaded, and it really tasted delicious, just like the pigeons my grand dad slaughtered from time to time. There hardly is anything as delicious as the sauce you get from pigeons or rabbits. I am aware that many people would not touch rabbit or pigeon with a ten-foot pole, but I grew up with that and have no problems with it. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |
