  5. 1 pelvis
    2 um, femur? I've never really learned to keep track of the limbs. Makes me sounds like quite a hazard, doesn't it?
    3 patella--or it is patellum? the singular kneecap, anyway
    4 liver
    5 stomach
    6 small intestine
    7 um, pulmonary artery?
    8 carotids? That has me thinking of caryatids.
    9 they look yellow, and I'm calling them metatarsals
    10 phalanges
    A special thanks to all my body parts who have been working away as I take this quiz--even if I don't know your names, I still appreciate your efforts.

  11. Oh, Please, please: make spelling count!

  16. For those of you playing for keeps, here are the current rankings:

    1. la gringissima: 640.83
    2. DrSchnell: 620
    3. Mrs.5000: 590
    4. Elaine: 531.67
    5. Cartophiliac: 515
    6. Aviatrix: 450*
    7. Ben: 448.33
    8. Elizabeth: 340*
    9. The Calico Cat: 330**

    Everybody has 8 scores on the board except for Aviatrix and Elizabeth, who have only 6, and Calico, who has only 5. Since only the best eight scores count, that means they still have the chance to move up rapidly.

  17. I was happy that I made the list--and not even on the bottom--until I saw that the only two people below me haven't even done 8 quizzes yet. And the one above me is similarly handicapped. Ah, well.

  18. That was the aorta? I really did have the scale confused. And don't worry Ben, I've been playing for ages, I've just fluked out and got points for the first and second time twice in a row.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Oh wait, I didn't get points for this one. What if I walk on my hands, Michael5000? What then!

    ReplyDelete
  20. @Ben: You're a contender. Also, first place in WQ I:3 and second in I:5.

    @Aviatrix: Hmm, here's what I've got in the ol' points database for you:

    1: n/a
    2: 70
    3: n/a
    4: 80
    5: 80
    6: 50
    7: 100
    8: 70

    Or are you applying those old, stuffy Thursday Quiz rules? Those are totally out.

    If you walk on your hands, I imagine you are going above and beyond the Five Essential Exercises of Canadian Aviation Downtime. But I wouldn't put it past you.

  21. The big clue - Carple Tunnel Syndrome. (Ask your local grocery clerk about it - or secretary.)

  22. Hrmm...
    I know I'm too late, but I've been away and thought I might just do it anyway...

    1. That's your pelvis, Elvis.
    2. That's your Femur, Lemur.
    3. Patella, Stella.
    4. Hrmm...this is where I get mixed up, but I think that's a liver.
    5. Stomach, Vic.
    6. Intenstines, but which ones? I'll go for the small, I think, because the large obviously started further up...
    7. That's the aorta.
    8. Carotid arteries, thankyou Ms. Clark of my senior Biology class.
    9.Carpals.
    10. Metacarpals.

  23. Oh damn, I just did my own marking...How did I forget such an awesome word as "phalanges"? That stuffed up both my last ones, as the hand bones all moxed up a little. :(
