yeah, I saw that after I posted tihs comment. Still, maybe half dead food still struggling a little might have been more palatable?

but how do you know they don't experience emotion? It was clearly capable of learning, it would play with it's food to make it's captors think it was eating so they'd leave it alone. There are many cases of wild animals dying of depression once in captivity, especially with sea creatures.

interesting theory. However, consider tihs: What are the odds that a cosmic accident would produce creatures like ourselves? What are the odds that, among billions of species on our planet alone, we are the only ones capable of wondering about our existence? Just calling it a big cosmic accident seems just as…

Just to be clear, I sincerely doubt the nation's problems hinge on me.

As someone who lives in the Great Lakes region, I can confirm that this winter has sucked major ass. In case anyone is wondering

talk about a silly question!

I did not know it was a scavenger. Besides, if what they were trying wasn't working maybe something else would help. Or maybe the poor thing was lonely.

My mother, who is a RN, always said that anyone over the age of 2 doesn't need anything more than skim milk. As a consequence I grew up drinking it and now prefer it over whole or 2%. Interesting studies, but I'm not ready to jump on the bandwagon yet.

Might have something to do with being yanked out of its natural habitat and shoved in a tank. Call me crazy.
Impressive it lasted for five years. I wonder if they tried live food.

of course you did!

I think I love you for this comment

this is so lovely and peaceful to watch! Thanks for sharing!

yeah, I went back and saw that. My ADHD missed it the first time. Unfortunately there's not much we can do about this, save hope for the best and pray if you're the praying kind! :)

oh wait, never mind. It's a Chinese company, duh. My ADHD missed that, lol

*confused* what does China have to do with Nicaragua...Did I miss something?

because you know what's best for someone else's children. Obviously, you know what's best for everyone. We should just put you in charge of the planet since you know so much.

one can only hope they'll decide to re-route the canal to avoid the national park and protect that habitat.

Better that than a country of cowards that rolled over to Hitler and allowed him to invade their neighbors. You're a nation of fools. You give your government all the power and all it will take is one dishonest person to take advantage and pretty soon you'll find yourselves in communist Russia, except in Sweden.

I'm not trying to save you, I'm sorry if you feel that way. I was just explaining my viewpoint.

My grandparents are from Norway, so can I just say yay for an Apocalypse from my people? lol
