Bill Clinton is wishing he'd evolved directly from this octopus--"Damn, I could harass three or four women at once if I had all those arms!"

No. No video on Hogzilla. Just a farm-raised hog that may have crossed with a wild boar and a single computer-altered photo, LOL! (The minions are so dumb.)

And my DH is SCUBA certified, too. I keep his life insurance policy up to date; I'd pay that before I pay the mortgage, LOL!

No, he WILL be eaten by something down there one day, and I will report it here in full. I stay in the tide pools with my snorkle; and I watch out for jellyfish and those spiney-things you can step on.

Just, Yuck! I have air-breathing lungs for a reason! ;)

Thank you for the info on Hogzilla...quite impressive!  He probably wouldn't have made a good pet....those giant tusks would likely have punctured a tire if he decided to chase a car.  Considering how much he must have eaten every day, a pet wildebeest would likely have been less expensive to have.

I agree on the 'spiny things' (sea urchins)

some species are poisonous and there's a possibility of death of you are allergic and you have an anaphylactic shock reaction.  It's always best to be careful where you step! 

Usually only the Portuguese Man of War is the main jellyfish species to look out for

I'm glad that you're keeping your husband's life insurance up to date....I have no doubt that he appreciates your assistance in bookkeeping matters   :-)

I agree  that breathing air is always preferable to the alternative   :-)

The two most famous products of UC Berekley are BSD and LSD.

I think Ms. Christine L. Huffard was sampling some of the latter.

Don't forget the deadly "box" jellyfish.

This crocodile was on the beach in front of the Petroleum club, Plage Sportive In Pointe Noire, Republic of the Congo. 21 FT long, 4,500 lbs, around 80 years old minimum.

Specialists said that he was looking to eat humans because he was too old to catch animals. For the past few months in some villages close to Pointe Noire people were complaining that some people in their villages have been disappearing, and it could well be this crocodile that's responsible. This crocodile was killed by the army last Sunday at 3:00 pm, currently he is in the freezer at the Azur hotel. The contents of it's stomach will be analyzed this Friday at 2:30pm.

Squidward Tentacles

Sorry, not being a regular consumer of Spongebob Squarepants, I had to look that one up  :-)

http://www.spongezone.net/backgrounds.htm   http://www.spongezone.net/squidpics.htm   http://www.homestead.com/flowstate/benegone.html   

squidward.gif (2380 bytes)Squidward is a mean, whiny, stick-in-the-mud squid who thinks he's better than everyone else. Just about everything annoys him. The Krusty Krab annoys him. The customers annoy him. The boss annoys him. But most of all, SpongeBob annoys him--almost 24 hours a day. Besides working side by side with SpongeBob at the Krusty Krab, Squidward is SpongeBob's nextdoor neighbor. If it weren't for the fact that SpongeBob is the only one who likes listening to his clarinet playing, Squidward would have nothing to do with him. SpongeBob, on the other hand, thinks the two of them are the lunch shift dream team.

Ah yes. He still owes me for filing those incisors... I guess I'll have to pass his debt along to others.
