Saw that cute little fella on QI about a year back. Isn't nature fantastic? :)

Amazing! You wouldn't believe it in a movie or an SF story or something.

Isn't that a still from the new from Starship Troopers movie? If not it should be.

Werewolves, strippers and Robert England - this could be awesome *.

Also loving the irony of Martin Kemp being in a trailer with a Duran Duran track playing over the top.

* For certain values of awesome.

That's one of M's favourites.

Question -- do *other* families have to have a 'no talking about parasites at the dinner table' rule?

[marrog.livejournal.com]

In my family we just do it.
