Hearing Nothing at the moment.

Feeling Insect-astic!


Even praying mantises get happy sometimes. Don't click through if bugs in general creep you out. Otherwise, a very amusing picture, indeed.

And for those of you who have the bandwidth to download a very large picture, what looks to be one of the coolest Hubble Photos EVAH. You're welcome.

    If you Google hard enough, there's a nasty picture of a mantis skewering a small bird (which I didn't think was possible, but is). It's nasty-yet-natural.

    Sorry guys -- not a real Hubble Photo.  Being curious about it, I found the description on the NASA site (http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_805.html) which explains ... "Above, an artist's impression shows a primordial quasar as it might have been, surrounded by sheets of gas, dust, stars and early star clusters."

    Beautiful, but not a photograph.

    Fellow digger, eh?  I just made my family look at both of those pictures the other day.  Either we have similar taste, or you have my house bugged.  I'm assuming the former, and fearing the latter.

    It's on mine too ... But what exactly is it?
