    Never ate a match. Never electrocuted a dog.

    I did once kill a neighbours cat after a dispute, skinned it and then hung it up on a tree outside with a pentagram drawn out on the ground in blood, pigs urine and plain
    White rice.

    But apart from that nothing really much to report.

    Mine was collecting red and black ants, mixing them together and watching them mince each other. The red always one so it turned into a handicap match and every now and then you'd have to throw in some boiling water from a cup. Fascinating things ants.

    You don't drive a cab or lorry now do you?

    Its all to do with predators and grazers. Look at an owl (front) compared to a robin redbreast (side)

    except there are some flat fishes with two eyes on one side, looking up
    and some other fishes with an eyeball on a stalk that gows. weird.

    and some worms and lizards have eyes that cant work. they are blind


    funny things eyeballs


    This is a tad too deep for a Friday afternoon, have you been on the malibu again?
