Here's something shocking for ya

Sitting down eating breakfast, felt something on my back, brushed at it, thinking it was a hair or something, turned around to look and whaddya know, there was a bloody cockroach on the seat of my shorts, damn thing. Jumped around and that didn't dislodge it so I had to brush it off, bloody thing. I think it was a male (yes, I can sex cockroaches thanks to Animal Diversity, it's surprisingly easy).

In other news, just noticed Phantom going about her excavations. I will occaisionally watch her while she's at it just to check she's not straining or anything because that's cause for concern, she's okay in that aspect :) But, she missed her HUGE DEEP hole totally. Dumb cat. Love her to bits.

Kinda accurate

You are blue. You are somewhat innocent, in the fact that your genius only extends to the physical world. You have a false sense of contentness. You are usually the quiet one, the genius. Everyone can count on you to help when they have problems, but you only fall short of being able to solve your own.

What inner color are you?

Thought for today...

gleaned from the lecture on animal ethics/welfare I had today.

Use of animals for teaching/research purposes has become very restricted nowdays. Some of this is for the good (some experiments are totally cruel and uneccessary) but sometimes it borders on depriving students of vital opportunities to learn properly.

Animals are also used for food, too many people are cruel to domestic animals, fishing is an accepted recreational sport, land clearing kills millions of animals pretty much every day, and in the wild most things die by being eaten alive.

So...

Are teachers and researchers an 'easy' target for concerned groups?
