Tell me a secret, little cavy



                 
Did you know …


That you can tell the future by the careful study of the entrails of a guinea pig (or other similarly sized rodents)? It’s true!

Entrail reading is an ancient method in the science of divination. Depending on who you ask and the specific circumstances of your gut-lookings, it’s referred to as “aruspicina,” “extispicy,” “haruspicy,” or “hieromancy.” In any case, you’re probably not going to get readings so specific that you could, say, predict a winning lottery number, but it’s still a fun project, suitable for children, and something to do on a rainy afternoon. So grab your hammer, and get extispicing!
