Where is he registered for baby stuff?  =D

It's going to pupate before he knows it, be on the phone all the time, and only talk to him when it wants money.  =(

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Cool images. Which native are you, Harold? :)

I'm SO glad I kept myself covered from head to toe  when not underwater while I was in Belize.

Seriously?  Your buddy is my new hero.

Only thing better is a Viking wedding.  Hmmm....

That's icky.  And yet oddly compelling...

So the warble just heals up OK after the pupae drops out?

I'm wondering if the botfly larvae that embedded itself in his head when he was a grad student actually hatched.   :P

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
