Yay! What was that last word for blue?
Before we reveal it... It turns out that gkrieg actually screwed up his last clue. He meant it to be March 1: 2. Given that, what would your second guess have been?
March 1? Uh... are dates even allowed? Anyway... not sure. That date doesn't really ring a bell.
I pinned down Mug and Tale as possible reds (for fluid/scolipede). I don't think Platypus would be linked to a specific date, and probably Needle neither. Bear seems a had sell too. So it would have been between Scientist, Bond, Orange.
Further googling led me to the realization that March 1 is self-injury awareness day and comes with orange ribbons. But I would probably not have done that research if we were still playing. I don't think I would have taken Scientist, but Bond could have been a real option there still.
