Certainly. :)

That's sad. I would have loved to hear the arguments against. I see that they say they don't have the data that says the horseshoe crabs are the only reason the red knots are declining. I hope we have not heard the last of this. I think I will do a little digging for the data and write a...

I've drawn blood from them (it's blue!) a few times. They have special blood cells that we used for testing for certain toxins in biological fluids. We drew blood and then put them back in the water. There's a company in Cape Cod that does that as a fulltime business! I'd totally love that job. :)

What do the fishermen do with the horseshoe crabs? I never thought of them as an edible species. Interesting. You learn something new every day. Edit: I actually READ the article this time and see that they are used for bait.

Aw, a Piney romance, right here on the forum! :)

Holy CRAP! That's un freaking believably big. I'd be plenty chapped at the ER doc who looked in your ear and missed THAT! Especially nice touch that part of your eardrum is still attached. :) Happy healing. You'll be good as new in no time, I'll bet. Thanks for posting about it, what an...

All the best for a good outcome, Guy.

Yes, I am a veterinary researcher, I develop drugs and parasiticides for livestock and companion animals. What's YOUR explanation? Wait. Do we even want to know? :ninja:

Ooh, I don't know, I spent my day wrestling with sheep yesterday, and I wasn't exactly clean afterward. :)

Rabbits aren't rodents, they're a different order, lagomorphs.

Squirrels are rodents, too! I had no idea you guys were such epicureans. This menu may interest you all. :)

Aw. Rats do make good pets. I wish we could take him especially because we watched "Ratatouille" yesterday. :) But we have cats who would both love to make an hors d'oevure out of him. Have you tried advertising him in the pets section of Craigslist? A small adoption fee will help to keep...

You are correct about that. :)

Working for a fortune 100 company, I can tell you that a 3% sales increase is too small for their tastes. The goal is double digit growth. My company is expected to increase by less than that next year, so is now making huge cutbacks, including laying off a rumored 10% of the staff starting this...

:rofl: Wow, people are strange.

Wow, that's fascinating. Why would this be an illegal activity? I remember seeing that tree at Martha, Joe and I mused for a while what that was all about. This is just the best forum. I learn something new every day from you guys. :)

Seriously, WTF? Why would anyone do this?

That last photo is fantastic. I'd hang that on the wall.
