Mommmmmmy! Can I go out and kill tonight? - glenn danzig
Hands up and scream - who loves their mom?
Happy Mother's Day to all the beaver's moms.
I've been watching commercials on espn golf highlights, and I'm wondering what kind of person it takes to really hate dandelions?
answer? REPUBLICANS
He swims. He gnaws. He builds dams. He moves us with his intelligence and grace. He is the Wily Beaver. And he is here to INTUBATE us all.

Yes yes, very nice, but the Giant Squid is more impressive.
The Giant Squid (Architeuthis) is one of the largest squids (and invertebrate, animal without a backbone). It swims the oceans at great depths. No one has ever seen a living Giant Squid. Only dead examples have been found.
These soft-bodied cephalopods are fast-moving carnivores that catch prey with their tentacles, then poison it with a bite from beak-like jaws. They move by squirting water from the mantle through the siphon, a type of jet propulsion. The Giant Squid's only enemy is the sperm whale, who hunts it deep in the ocean.
Anatomy: The largest-known Architeuthis was 57 feet (17.5 m) long. They have eight arms, two longer feeding tentacles, a beak, a large head, and two eyes, each the size of a basketball. They breathe using gills.
Diet: Giant squid are fast-moving carnivores (meat-eaters) that catch prey (probably large marine creatures) with their two feeding tentacles, then hold the prey with the eight arms and bite it into small pieces using a parrot-like beak. The esophagus runs through the brain, so the food must be in small pieces before swallowing.

The "big red" jellyfish uses its arms to feed (Image: MBARI)
Scientists at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in Moss Landing found a new species of jellyfish off the Farallon Islands near San Francisco. Here are some facts about Big Red, as they call it. Distinctive features: A yard-wide fleshy red bell, four to seven thick arms with wartlike clusters of stinging cells. Lives: 2,000 to 4,800 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, as well as in the Sea of Cortez, in Monterey Bay, and off Hawaii and Japan. Population: So far, 23 have been found by researchers. |
