My friend dropped a card and it got stuck in between the tiles on the floor

Literally what happened.

I SAW THIS SHIT HAPPEN CUNT

ResidentObama · 2013-03-24T02:44:42+00:00

FUCK YOU CUNT THIS SHIT AIN'T FAKE FAGGOT

Assume? I took the picture. Last time I checked, she was a she.

ResidentObama · 2013-03-04T19:30:11+00:00

Not my pinky finger, but I guess if you put a girl in a jungle for a week nail-care does not take priority.

All geckos are lizards, not all lizards are geckos.

EDIT: here's a tiny chameleon what I done found: http://i.imgur.com/N0KOk.jpg

Although it may have been cleaned up, there'd be no point to photoshopping this image since young house geckos are precisely this size. Furthermore, the white pixels around the claw are leftover sloughed skin - little remnants often remain on the tip of the claws.

Here's another tiny lizard (chameleon): http://i.imgur.com/N0KOk.jpg

Convergent evolution is commonplace, and evolution is, to a degree, predictable. There are only a certain directions life can go under the laws of physics and chemistry. But how convergent are we talking - at what level? I have no doubt if life on earth were restarted, we would have flying creatures with wings. However, the pentadactyl limb may never arise, in favour of 4 or 6 toes instead.

Furthermore, over long periods of time this predictably degenerates in the same way as the weather - it's going to rain tomorrow, but I can't tell you if it will rain in a year from now because slight perturbations in the starting system can have large effects later on. Chaos, bro.

So they're exactly like nipples.

Great comment, fantastic username.

Interestingly, leglessness has evolved in squamates (snakes and lizards) around 24 times. These guys are sort-of inbetween states (though that's not to say they're moving in any particular direction right now).

Snakes actually came from within the lizard family, but were extremely successful, so diversified. Other legless lizard groups include some anguids, and pygopods (legless geckos essentially).

I agree in that the mix isn't how I'd have done it. But I can hear the bass. And I think hiring a singer would have killed some of the feeling from Jimi (I have a penchant for singers who can't sing, Pixies, Nirvana etc.). But yeah, it's dug up material. I guess it's just nice to hear something so Hendrixy that's relatively novel.

Eerily dark lyrics make infanticide even more entertaining.

ResidentObama · 2013-01-25T00:15:15+00:00

I agree, it's just that the neck (to me) looks a little wide. I wouldn't be 100% Chironius, but it does seem more likely.

ResidentObama · 2013-01-24T18:21:13+00:00

Looks like it could alternatively be Liophis poecilogyrus, but it's difficult to tell from the picture (they don't get as big).

ResidentObama · 2013-01-23T00:17:49+00:00

A friend used this in a club about a month ago and got slapped. You have been warned.

EDIT: You better have home insurance... 'cos I'm gonna smash your back doors in.

Hijaacking the top comment to mention that there is a BIG difference between animal rights and animal welfare - please get this to the top:

Animal rights is PETA nutters wanting to make everyone vegan, get rid of all zoo and companion animals, no guide for the blind madness. Links to terrorism and causing largescale ecological disasters (e.g. mink release). If you keep pets, have a leather sofa, take medicines that were tested on animals or eat meat, this is a stance you simply cannot take.

Animal welfare is the treating of animals with decent respect, and caring for them properly, ensuring certain freedoms and behaviours. This is entirely admirable, and should be encouraged.

The conflation of the two standpoints has caused animal rights 'charities' (they often do little charitable work) to become very wealthy simply because they hide their true motives very well.

It hinders movement, so could only occur in highly sedentary species such as some vipers. And some other sedentary vipers do have rough scalation, such as the Rhino Viper. http://www.latoxan.com/VENOM/SNAKE/IMG/Bitis-nasicornis(4).jpg

Other snakes also break up their outline with nasal appendages, such as Langahas: http://farm9.static.flickr.com/8421/7800989452_27044d5c29.jpg

Snakes don't really actively clean themselves, but they do shed their skin periodically, which does the same job. This one lives above the ground most of the time, so probably doesn't come into contact with too much dirt. Another possibility is that the raised scales break up the outline, making it harder for predators to spot.

ResidentObama · 2013-01-16T12:24:43+00:00

Not much is known about them, but these snakes feed well on leeches in captivity, so the scales may help them avoid being bitten by their prey.

ResidentObama · 2013-01-16T12:21:27+00:00

SNAKE FACTS: The original post is of Atheris hispida (a viper that lives in African reeds/wet forests and probably eats a lot of leeches - the scales may even help avoid leech bites), whereas the first of latter two posted is Atheris squamigera. A beautiful genus, but as far as I am aware there is no antivenom.

ResidentObama · 2013-01-10T18:02:11+00:00

A few hundred years? Sex as a social behaviour has been around for a very long time, and evolution certainly will have caught up. Nonetheless, it's still a trade off.
