By the way, when we were creating these puzzles using randomized lists of words, we often thought of a silly game we played as children. We would take a dictionary (or a book, magazine or newspaper), randomly open it and with our eyes closed, drop our fingers onto the page. Whatever words they landed on would be written down. This would be repeated a few times until we basically had a jumbled list of words. Then we would challenge each other to come up with a story using these words. The stories would almost always be pure nonesense. But sometimes they were pretty hilarious. Give it a try, it's a lot of fun!

____________

Here's what we came up with using the word list from Puzzle 11:

Robert was raving mad from the torrid sun. So he climbed to the top level of the bridge, a full forty feet above the usual spot. He looked down and felt even sicker. His rubber boat was just a pale speck, barely visible behind the veil of the surrounding flora. Not a seam was discernible. But it was his duty to chomp down on his fear and take the plunge. Unfortunately, he did not securely attach his bathing suit and had to remain in the water for hours until everyone else left.
