I do think a vague hint at the beginning of the contest would be good. It adds a little spice to the game. Operative word though is vague.

Thinking on this, i actually **HAVE** been giving a very vague hint at the beginning of the contest.

If i think it is going to be a difficult NAKED ANIMAL, i give you more time. If it is an easier one, i'll give less time. i might say it is because of work pressures - and it is, but in that case (work pressure) i try to use the "easier" ones.

How's that for vague!!![8D]

Up to you Robert. The Thread calls and I will serve.

ok - i'll try to give a LITTLE bit more hint.[:'(] Note that hints can sometimes mislead, as the "insult" clue did today, since you didn't know about the term "squid" being an insult.

For instance, if i gave the hint "warm-blooded", you might not think of certain animals that are generally thought to be cold-blooded, but in fact are not. An example of this is SALMON - a warm-blooded fish (at least according to some articles i've read). (Actually (according to the article), it turns out many of the tastier fishes are warm-blooded.)

Anyway, i'll give a bit a hint to start. If there is good participation, i'll give another clue towards the end.

The Controversial, Highly Exotic (?), Hardly Erotic NAKED ANIMAL Contest will run again today!

As always, the prize is a cheesey personalized cartoon photo!!

Same old rules - one guess per post. No overly broad guesses (i.e. "fish", "snake", "mammal", etc. will not be accepted as guesses.) As always i can reuse previous animals (although i have not done that yet), and naturally "naked" animals are still naked (i.e., the infamous armadillo).

It is 7:35 a.m. C.S.T. or 1:35 G.M.T/13:35 Zulu Time. You have TWO hours today... (hint#1 - i should only give you 1.5 hours...)

Hint#2 - warm-blooded![:'(][:D]

Speedy, this might be your chance to catch up to your fellow countrymen's total (although in fabertong's case, countrymen might be incorrect. Countrypenguin sounds a bit strange though...[:D])
