absy Feb 29, 2004	umm, maybe i just don't kno what bloodstone is, but my birthday is in march, and my stone is aquamarine......
Rowsdower Mar 01, 2004	Yeah, Absy, I know what you mean. For this teaser I tried to use the "traditional" birthstones, but there is still some variance. I thought people would be able to get it from the astrological signs, since they overlap two months each. Sorry for any confusion.
absy Mar 01, 2004	ahh okee thx for clearing that up for me
Witness May 29, 2004	ok but -- adstrology is not my forte'

stephiesd Mar 08, 2008	Funness! I too was confused about the aquamarine / bloodstone thing, but I knew that February is amethyst, so I was able to deduce the right answer... Great teaser!
