How one chooses Gaius as the name for a new kitten.  Very funny, and what a cute kitten he is, too.

Beware the giant rabbits!  And I do mean GIANT.

Freedom of speech should trump any concerns over bigotry despite this being two of my pet peeves: Christians wanting to be bigots, and homosexuals being the target.  Regardless of those two items, they should be free to say what they will despite me being the target.  On this one, I side with the Christians.

You’ll love the advertisement for the new drug fukitol.  Terribly funny.

This is true parental sacrifice: baby cannibal amphibians eat their mother after hatching.  Check out the photo for an example.  Read the text to better understand this unusual behavior (unusual in two ways: that the young eat the mother, and that the mother provides care for the young after they hatch).

Remember when I said AT&T appears to have given the federal government wholesale access to its network so they could monitor all of the communications and traffic on the carrier’s network?  Well, it appears AT&T is rather upset about the lawsuit and wants to suppress the technical evidence.  This is getting interesting — and disturbing.

One cat is unsuspecting.  Can you tell which one it is?  It’s a great photo as it certainly captures something I’ve seen many times.

I contemplated whether I should even share this one.  While there is much discussion about whether anacondas eat humans, the lack of evidence and the many falsified photos make it difficult to determine if and how often it might happen.  But if anyone thought it was impossible for them to do so, watch this video in which a very large anaconda regurgitates a hippopotamus.  Yes, I said it barfs up a completely intact hippopotamus.  Now, if it can do that, I doubt there’s any physical reason it could not also swallow a human child or adult.  Warning: the video is not for the squeamish.

The issue of pharmacists refusing to dispense medications with which they disagree appears to be getting worse.  First it was a refusal to hand out “emergency contraception and other methods of birth control” to women, but now it includes vitamins and antibiotics.  WTF?  Fire them all and find people who are willing to do the job they’re paid to do without letting their own ignorance and prejudices get in the way.
