Discussion Thread II: Bots? What bots?

*whew*

They canceled classes. I am home safe without any more falls and my laptop is secure.

;__; although I'm a little sad they canceled class, since that means I missed my Senior Seminar, which only meets Mondays. Since last Monday was MLKJ day, this means that next week we have to turn in our topic reports without a chance to run them by the professor.

Psh, spiders are way better than scorpions. They sit around in quiet places and catch other bugs. I try not to kill spiders (we have brown recluses here and I don't want those in my home. I just relocate them and other little bugs, like rolly-pollies and lady-bugs) but scorpions *shudder* And what's worse is they always come in twos, so if you catch one... >_>; watch your back.

And have you ever seen a Scorpion with babies? It's like a fucking tank wearing little pale baby body-armor. They just crawl everywhere omfg so scary.

And my fiance wanted a scorpion for a pet, too. I can barely handle his scorpion-in-amber paperweight. An actual scorpion in my home?

I'd never sleep.

[noodles]

AAH SPIDERS

scorpions are like

aah scorpions

I think the only living creatures that ever bother me are mosquitoes. Oh, and humans sometimes but that doesn't count. I can't see any reason for mosquitoes to exist. Theoretically at some point many years ago they helped spread DNA and stuff. Whether that's true or not, they aren't important anymore. They don't contribute anything good to the wild besides food... but that's not made up for how much they suck!

[noodles]

well I don't see how DNA can be "spread"

but anyway, mosquitoes exist simply to exist, like all parasites. Note that parasites are different from pests like rats

[SirthOsiris]

And rats are sometimes used as cute pets.

I want a rat, for instance.

Organic life is amazing <3

Better than spiders AND scorpions:

The world's smallest deer. Listen to this:

"The pudú has several interesting characteristics that distinguish it from other deer. It is able to climb fallen trees, and it is sometimes forced to do so, both to escape predators and reach food. Because of its small size, it is often forced to balance on its hind legs to reach foliage. When threatened, it barks in alarm

I want one. :3

[ZetaBladeX13]

I've heard about them before. Do want

[Kinokokao]

Fanged deer?! AWESOME.

Also amazing: Snow Leopards

But fuck you, Apple, for making that the new OS, because now it messes up my google image search >_<

[Maxine MagicFox]

:3 Snow storm tonight through all of tomorrow! And the best part is, I don't have work tomorrow so I don't have to debate whether or not I want to risk my life going out in it just to get to my job.

The ice here has given way to fluffy snow! SNOW! SNOW! *runs around like crazy*

Classes were canceled today, too! I woke up with my alarm intending to check the internet for closings, but my best friend had sent me a text already. Whooo!

SNOW DAY!

[Twat]

Pfft! Lightweights! Being in Winterpeg, to the west of us they're seeing actual grass while over here we still have mounds of snow and skin freezing within minutes of exposure to the cold. While I'm enjoy it, it's being very hard on businesses.

[Kinokokao]

Well, we're just not used to it. Tuesday people were walking around in shorts! Even this little bit of ice/snow shuts things down here. Although, the snow is much easier to get around in, it's the ice that gets us.

Freezing rain is terribly slick.
