The one thing we are all waiting for is peace on earth and an end to war

It's the miracle we need, the miracle...
The time will come
One day you'll see
When we can all be friends...

( The Answer )

My burn has pretty much healed up. For a few days there it would go away during the night then go white again during the day, weird. Maybe the blood vessel connections still were a bit dodgy.

Did I ever tell you the tale of the orchid and the wasp? It's a favourite among biologists. In south-west Australia there is an orchid, which is pollinated by a particular species of wasp. This is possibly the only occurance of cross-kingdom mimicry known. The orchid's flowers resemble a female wasp, and it has managed to produce a chemical remarkably similar to the pheremone a receptive female wasp emits. Well of course the male goes nuts over this and flies down to the orchid and tries to take off with the "female" as they do (mating takes place during the "nuptial flight"). Of course it's a flower and attached to the plant so his struggles cause the flower to bounce up and down and the pollen sacs are shot down and stick to the males back, they will come off again on the next flower he attempts to mate with.

Pretty darn clever on the orchid's part. I'm not sure how it affects the wasps reproduction.

Love me two times baby, love me twice today...

Someone listed our "dum-de-dum" Pony Bride as rare again... *sigh*


You're nothing, really. But you're nice.

My nails get awfully sharp way too quickly, I'm always having to the cut them so I don't tear myself to shreds. Eczma is up again. }:-\

I like Pina Colada, it's nuuummmy, but too expensive. :(
I hate how LJ doesn't allow special characters, it just sticks a question mark in their place if you use them... stupid...

Ribs for dinner, mmmmmm.

"BJ's justice department part 1"

Police car pulls over person chatting on mobile phone and driving erratically due to the fact.
Driver winds down window.
Police officer grabs phone, throws it to the ground and grinds it beneath foot.

BJ laughs.

The inherent problem with speed cameras is that they only take 1 moment in time. They should have sequences of cameras so it can be seen who was only just drifting over then becoming aware of it and slowing again and who deliberately drives like a moron. I get sooooo many people pass me on Roe Hwy where I sit slap bang on the speed limit. I just wish they would all be slugged with big fines, they are overtaking me, therefore I feel I can assume that they aware that they are speeding. There is a bit on Roe Hwy that goes to an 80 zone, not really sure way, but anyway, it's an 80 zone so I slow to 80. Nobody else does.

bah, I'm posting this now

There are hipparion tracks near the Laetoli Footprints

*wonders how many people know what she's rabbiting on about*

In Laetoli in Africa footrprints have been discovered, probably left by Australopithecus afarensis (i.e. an early homonid). There are prints of a large individual and a small individual that are easily seen, and faint outlines of a medium individual that was walking in the footprints of the large guy. Possibly a male, female and child??

Anyways, near those footprints, at an angle to them are another set of prints. Left by a hipparion. What is a hipparion you ask?? A hipparion is one of the earliest horse species. About the size of a medium sized dog.

Pretty neat I reckon, I actually thought hipparion existed before humans, but it would seem not. Shit, imagine wandering in this volcanic ash a couple million years ago and seeing this little dog like horse trot by. Not knowing that in a million or so years hence they will get about 5 times that size and be a common mode of transport. Neat. *smiles*
