Those are in the rodent family, Nutria; but they are not Norway Rats (what we typically think of as rats, in pet stores and such).

LARP seems pretty nerdy to me...

If this were Russia, we'd be drilling to that volcano already.

I thought animals provided higher calories for the amount of resources they use vs plants.

Jeezus, the guy might have been better off with man slaughter and gone into the clink for 10 years.

It's hard when you see an animal sick or die for no reason, IBD always pops into your head and it's always worrisome (though rarely the cause). It's also thought that it might be passed along by snake mites that transmit the virus when the mite feeds on the snake. People have lost whole collections to IBD.

Should we change the written word because we now pronounce it differently?

I never thought Michigan was so windy, but recently talked with a man from Tennessee and he mentioned we almost always have a breeze going, which makes our humidity tolerable. Never thought about the wind NOT always blowing, just assumed everywhere the wind blew 24/7.

This. I asked my boyfriend to turn on the light when he gets up a few hours before me, it helps in the winter, but it was nicer when our bedroom faced the south.

Mmm... cookie dough. XD

I was having a hard time deciding if it was CGI or not. Looks,... odd. Somehow different than other underwater vids that I can't pin down. At least it's not just me.

Ah, that nasty anaerobic, gram-negative bacteria, hope things heal up well.

I believe it. That's how Robert Neville came to be resistant to the vampire virus.

By measuring the length of the femur. At least for this guy.

Sorry if I'm double commenting on this. I don't have children. I also don't plan on having any. My friends and I used to have more in common and I used to like reading their status updates. When it turns the tides towards baby pics, I am very uninterested in your life. I still want to see the more important things,…

Maybe someone already said it, but who's this Peter Weller guy? Where's my Kevin Conroy!?

Because if you don't leave a message, I will not call you back (it must not be that important). I also don't subscribe to text messages, too much moola when I have google chat.

When I get my own chicken coop and flock going, I plan on doing the nearly same exact thing as the video. Free range chickens, quick cut of the neck to bleed out (loss of consciousness is seconds) then throw them in the whiz bang chicken plucker!
