If man is to live in harmony with nature we must respect nature's needs, and the needs of the giant squid are simple:
a) three (3) metric tons of small fish per week, or one (1) sperm whale;
b) if giant squid is to make more than two appearances in one day, giant squid must be supplied with a rest area equipped with Bose sound system and six large, clean towels;
c) no flash photography.
We have violated our contract with the giant squid. Will any of us ever feel safe in the water again?
Is a real thing!

And a quick how to:
The legs and torso are in beige, as you can probably see - you'll find those in the minifig section. His head is Luke Skywalker's - they're not hard to come by. There's a grey rucksack and red cup on his back (they'll probably be in the minifig accessories section). He's got a brown stick in his hand. If you then get a small green baseplate and a few flowers, you've basically got everything.

In other news, my internets seem to be semi buggered. Some sights work just fine, but others (including google) are completely stuffed; seems to be randomly affecting 50% of everything. Anyone else getting this? I can't think why my isp would take against google and randome webcomics...
ION2 unhurt and the invader's Grand Tour of Scotchland seems to be going okay! Not withstanding unhurt's general ignorance of where things in scotland are...
Ha ha!
(if you put a bin bag out on our street it is torn open within an hour by seagulls/foxes/rats and the contents spread about the place. There is a wee group of student flats who ALWAYS put their bags out a couple of days early. But today they were caught red handed in the act!)

The agony of the boiled lobster
That scream you hear when you place a live lobster into a pot of boiling water is just the air escaping from its innards. But make no mistake, says new research, your lobster is feeling the agony of being boiled to death. Some scientists—and most lobster lovers—have long contended that with their primitive neural systems, crustaceans such as crabs and lobsters cannot feel pain. But a new study on hermit crabs in Northern Ireland has placed that theory into question. Researchers found that after they zapped the crabs with electric shocks, the animals did more than simply recoil in a reflexive manner—afterward, they exhibited stress reactions such as grooming (scratching their bellies with their legs) and tapping against the undersides of their shells, much like a human being might lick a burned finger. What’s more, the crabs seemed to remember the pain. Even after the crabs migrated to other shells, their stress behaviors continued. As with other animals, study author Robert Elwood tells Discovery News, pain alerts the crab to tissue-damaging injuries and protects it by provoking such “a huge negative emotion or motivation that it learns to avoid that situation in the future.’’ He found that when shocked crabs were given aspirin, they acted relieved, and their stress-reducing behaviors subsided. In a separate study in which crabs had their legs twisted off, the stress response was so profound that the crabs died, even though they did not need the missing limbs.

Every day I live with the shame of this!
Anyone that buys lobsters or eats lobsters or visits tourist destinations where lobster farming is their main economy...they are a MURDERER!
Just because lobsters dont loook "cute" like puppies and kittens...people don't feel sorry for them!
When you eat a lobster, you are eating it's tears and soul!
She did say she had an extension wire to put her mobile internet dongle (I loved this) in the gutter on her roof to get sub-dial-up connection. Hee! So if you sent her an email she's probably read it, if not been able to reply...
Nah....
Instead she thought about lovely Dr Hoff, and how she hadn't seen him for a while. Then she looked at her toe. Then she looked at the hammer. Then her toe again. Then the hammer again....

Callum supped happily. But oh no! His aged bowels were betraying him! Hugh, though, heard the familiar tell-tale rumbling.
"Here!" http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/produ
"I love you Hugh!" Callum cried as he dashed behind the convenient rock.
But! Hugh cringed down as a shapely female form emerged from the Bothy...

"I wish C was here instead" Hugh muttered. "Damned wizened seals sighting in switzerland..."
DO NOT JUDGE MY INTERNET SHOPPING

HouseQuest continues...
"See how they burgeon and flourish!" he boasted hubristically. "So many! There cannot be a better Parsnip Field on all of Orkney!"
Callum looked sad.
"I have to tell you something, Hugh" he bombshelled...

ION: Unhurt still alive. She got a parking ticket today though, as she forgot to put money in the meter. She saw a wizened seal and thought it was Callum.
