Puzzle 231

Here are the rules:

1. You may only guess one letter at a time.

2. After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again.

3. The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.

4. One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.

5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.

6. If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to me via Pet Talk personal email. [This is accessible via the 'PM' or 'Profile' buttons on any of my posts.]
DO NOT post phrase guesses on the forum. If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.

7. You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle.

8. The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game! If no one has guessed it correctly after six misses, then the player with the most points wins the game.

9. Only 5 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 5, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. Also, someone else has to guess a letter before you can guess another letter.

If you correctly guess the phrase, you get to host the next puzzle! But if you do not want to host the next puzzle, the person with the next highest points will have the choice of hosting it., unless there are two correct guessers, than it shall go to the second correct guesser and than be passed to the next highest scorer.

Oh, you tempt me to ask for another letter :)

I think people will start rumours that we are the same person: same first name, same climate where we live, we both love animals, we're online at the same time. Hmmm, now *I'm* wondering :D

Ok time to bombard me with guesses, hehe!

In the Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology, five Tailless rats were

born out of 40,000 rats between 1915 and 1917. They were observed,

and three were disse*ted so the vertebrai *ould be e*amined. The

lumbar vertebrai were modified and the *elvi* girdle was only

atta*hed by a small surfa*e near the anterior end altering the angle

of the hind legs , resulting in the lifted rum*.

Cincy'sMom guessed it correctly! Way to go!

Here is the finished puzzle!

In the Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology, five Tailless rats were born out of 40,000 rats between 1915 and 1917. They were observed, and three were dissected so the vertebrai could be examined. The lumbar vertebrai were modified and the pelvic girdle was only attached by a small surface near the anterior end altering the angle of the hind legs , resulting in the lifted rump.

What do you say, you wanna take a turn for the next round?:p
