I think if I ever have a child, I will want to do a home birth. Hospitals tend to jump into cesarean sections at the drop of a hat, and lying on your back in bed hopped up on drugs is not necessarily the healthiest or easiest way to give birth. I'd rather do it at home with a professional midwife who has all their…

PHILISTINE! There is no better writer than Tolkien! *gasp*!!! ;)

*insert eye roll here* grow up. I've done nothing to deserve your rancor, I simply wondered what else they could have done. I'm somewhat educated on the care of marine life, having kept fresh and saltwater fish tanks for many years now. Saltwater creatures are sensitive and fragile when in captivity. I simply was…

....wow, that's a lot of accusation because I feel sympathy for people crushed under the heel of a dictator. Why don't you go take your medication and go back to bed. You're obviously too worked up for the Internet today.

yes well, the general public obviously needs to be better informed about giant isopods. And here's something that's NOT speculation: you serve absolutely no purpose in this conversation. I may not be an expert, but at least I have taken into consideration the animal's welfare, something I seriously doubt his…

I'm sorry, I see nothing wrong with my opinion. I don't claim to be an expert, I'm only giving my thoughts. It's a living thing, and you can study it's biology as much as you like, you still will have only the barest glimmer of what it's experience of life is. I don't see your credentials as an expert on isopods.

you're screwed, lol. Washington DC is the unhappiest place on Earth - it's where politicians congregate

We Hoosiers find ourselves in the middle yet again, we're a state of averages, lol

boy and their toys. I will never understand the male fascination with big machines. Or the female fascination, for that matter.

tragic how cruel their leader is. I will never understand why people are so cruel to one another. I just can't fathom it...

how fascinating! And being a strange specimen of humanity, I really wanna touch it...

May he rest in peace, and may his legacy never be forgotten! <3

I love this sort of thing, it always cracks me up. I used to think "Big old jet airliner" was "Big old jet had a light on"

you win the internet today

I used to have a bearded dragon that I fed crickets most of the time, but sometimes he'd stop eating the crickets. There wasn't anything wrong him, he just didn't want to eat the crickets. So I'd give him mealworms for a week and then he'd eat crickets again. He go bored and wanted something different. I'm not…

how do you know I'm misinterpreting? It's been proven that dogs (for example) experience emotions just like people do. Just because they may not experience emotions they way humans do does not mean they do not experience emotions. And yes, it may have been lonely. I don't know how social isopods are, but maybe it…

maybe it got bored eating the same thing all the time.

I thought they might. honestly I wish people would quit yanking animals out of the ocean and putting them in tanks for their own amusement. It's cruel and selfish.

ugh, well if it's like the first season then great! I'm on board!

I saw that after I read the article, thanks.
