Moon Over My Hammy

Giant Spiders Have Taken Over My Old House!

Holy crap, I went to mow the yard at my old house (still trying to sell it) and I noticed that a giant spider has taken up residence outside:

Now, my rule generally is that all spiders INSIDE the house die.  But normally I would have killed a monster like this, just to be sure.  I mean, it is already uge, and it's web is like 5 feet across, so it is only going to catch more and more bugs, grow ever bigger, and probably have like a million baby spiders.

But since: (a) this thing really was impressive, (b) I no longer live at this house, and (c) I was scared this thing would attack me, I left it alone.

I Just Got An Unsolicited E-Mail From A Store Called "Living Large"

These guys are apparently trying to tell me something.

Among the items available for purchase:

• A "new and improved" stool with 1,000 lb capacity.  1,000 pounds!!?? - interestingly, the stool has wheels.  That seems to be encouraging inactivity.
• Car seat belt extender - my car seat belt stretches an extra long way, like past the steering wheel - how do people this large fit into cars in the first place?
• Heavy duty beach chair with sun visor - 650 lb capacity!! - do we really want to encourage people this large to head to the beach?

Perhaps Americans have gotten a bit on the heavy side.

Giant Attack Squirrels Loose On Mercer's Campus - Pictures Included!

This is an e-mail my wife received from one of the other Mercer Medical School professors in her department:

Dear all,

Oh, how I wish this was a prank!  But it isn't.  When the medical school parking lot was being painted, I found a nice, shady spot to park my car - one of the four angled-parking spaces at the side of the med school, just before you turn right up into the large lot where HR is.  I was very pleased, as my car didn't heat up to 1,000 degrees, as has happened during high summer in Macon.  So, even after the med school lot was re-opened, I continued to park in the shade.  Now I understand why those spots were available.  Imagine my surprise when I opened the hood to my 2005 Hyundai Elantra for its 20K maintenance, and found this damage to my firewall (see attached pictures)!  I had honestly never seen anything like that.  The dealership told me that this was common here, due to squirrels trying to find bedding to build nests for the winter.  Who knew?  The car was fine when I had the oil changed, and have parked it inside a garage at night since then, so I am pointing the "J'accuse" finger at the plentiful Mercer squirrels.  Anyway, let my odyssey be a lesson to you, and please check your cars for damage.
 
I still can't believe this actually happens.

Mother ####### Snakes On The Mother ####### Plane!

Four pythons escaped from a Quantos flight, and were never found!  See, that's why I like snakes - they are crafty.  I bet those snakes all got together before take off and planned the whole thing.  The leader probably said: "It'ssssss not right of the humansssss to treat usss thissss way.  Let'sssss esssscape and ssssscare the hell out of them!" 

Who Would Win In A Fight: A Giant Robot-Bear Hybrid Or A Dragon?

A running joke Mike Hixson and I had on his facebook page gave rise to this serious question in my mind.  Of course a dragon would beat a regular bear, and would probably beat a giant bear.  But if the bear was like a cyborg-bear, with mechanical armor and extra powers, could such a bear beat a dragon?  Something like this.

My money is still on the dragon.  In fact, I don't think there is much that would really beat a dragon.  They are huge, mean, have big claws and teeth, breath fire, and fly.  That is pretty much about as badass as you can get.

Weigh-in on your choice in the comments. 

Facebook - Even Pirate Language Is Getting Old

I never thought I would get tired of the Pirate Language setting on Facebook.  While it still makes me chuckle from time to time, it more often makes me yawn, and has even become slightly annoying.  And this saddens me, because priates are cool and should never be boring or annoying.

I still love this Mafia Wars game, but even that has its limits.  I can't believe I haven't worn that out yet.  I give it a couple of months max before I give Facebook the ol' heave ho.  Arrrrgh.

Ok, it' still funny.
