Wow. And what? And…I just don’t know. While I’ve been fixated on my crazy family’s taxidermic legacy, I’ve been missing out on a world of…something.
Thanks to Dr. Birdcage for sending this along.
44 Dioramas of Dead Gophers: the Gopher Hole Museum in Alberta, Canada.
I don’t even know how to categorize this post.
Wild Manatee Cam at Blue Spring State Park.
Warning: that’s a good quality feed and there are 344 manatees wintering there so there’s lots of manatee action and I can’t be responsible if you stop bathing and lose your job because you’ve gotten sucked in.
Today wasn’t a total loss for me. I didn’t make it to the gym, but I put on my gym clothes at one point and seriously considered it. I’m at the gym so much it was recently suggested to me that I run for the Board of Directors. Missing a day isn’t a big deal.
Plus, I figure that somedays wresting into a sports bra is workout enough. I’ve found the most brilliantly comfortable running bra on the planet (Moving Comfort, Juno). It looks like body armor, but it’s sheer engineering genius. And while it’s challenging to put on, it’s got clever velcro closures on the straps so you never have to worry about it being difficult to remove when you’re sweaty and tired. I always think it’s important to have an escape route in case of, I don’t know…fire or something.
I don’t know why I think that.
I was going to ask what the staff at the PG Hospital Center are smoking on those smoke-breaks, but then I looked at the video.

That’s one seriously ugly critter, poor bastard. Looks like a naked fox to me, but I’m no cryptozoologist.
So instead I’ll just mock the awkwardly bad reporting on the story that describes the Chupacabra as “…a mythical Latino Bigfoot-type figure…”
Dr. Birdcage passed this along – “The List: 5 Reasons Why We Should Worry About an Ape Revolution.” It’s from Smithsonian Magazine’s Around the Mall blog.
With the impending release this Friday of the documentary summer blockbuster Rise of the Planet of the Apes, I thought we should all be prepared in case we ever face chemically enhanced apes that attempt to take over our world. In the past on our site we’ve investigated zombies and kept a running record on robot technology, but the threat of ape rebellion had yet to be cataloged. The National Zoo’s Amanda Bania, a keeper who works with the great apes, told me that gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans and the other ape species can best us in many ways, even without being injected with mysterious serums by James Franco. This week’s list deals with 5 ways that apes outdo humans:
I mostly posted this to fuel JunglePete’s clearly rational and justified fears about the impending ape-based apocalypse.
