Weee, I love snopes.com. I went from researching weather or not this post http://darkdragonseer.livejournal.com/3813.html was true (my coworker also sent that to me) since I find it hard to believe and want all my facts before I go harring off about it. I don't have all the story but so far from the look of it sadly is true (and fucking disgusting) but is still listed as undefined in snopes because they cant get all the facts straight either... http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/vargas.asp

On the lighter side of things heres some funnier stuff I found at snopes: True story- dead whale in Oregon blown up with a half ton of dynamite wrecks mans car. And a video of it to boot! *snicker* Good job Navy on advising them to explode a while. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGVkHl-nBhE

And this one reminds me of a certain time a friend and I went to pick up a dead squirrel. When walking back to our car in a dark parking lot we noticed a creapy guy. I took out my keys in case he was more than a creepy guy. My friend asked why I was doing that (we'd driven her truck) and I told her about the guy. Her response? "I'm carrying a dead squirrel!" Have to agree. Beating someone with a rotting smelly dead squirrel probably works better than jabbing them with your keys. ^^

Mwahaha massive photo dumping time! I wont repost all of them here for fear of killing your comps, so heres links to the individual posts.

Scavenged stuff posted in Here at human_vultures
partially cross posted in furhideandbone and some extras at deadphotos which will hopefully be posted soon.

And now with the photos for my blog personally!
( NOT 56k friendly, lots of pics, mostly from the faire (IE lots hawk pictures and particularly lots of the cutest little black vulture EVER), a couple of Aya and one of Hige attempting to walk on his own back. )

Edited to fix broken link

I was finishing my drawing for my 405 class when I heard a scratching at my window. Wary, I thought it was one of the kids in the neighborhood throwing things at my window or something to screw with me. So I opened my blinds and what do I find? A REALLY idiotic gecko who doesn't know the saying, "Don't eat anything bigger than your head."



*snicker* Horrible picture but you get the gist. He tried to eat a katydid and the katydid kept on kicking. That was thirty minutes ago. They're STILL going at it. I get the feeling this'll go on all night. I'm amused. That katydid is 1/3 the geckos size, twice the size of his head and, hell, his legs are as long as the gecko (plus half his tail). Baka gecko.

Anyhow bedtime for me! Oh, yeah, and pictures for Foxylady:

Weeee I had a FUN day. The highlight that left me buzzed all day was when a juvenile little green heron flew into the place where I work. Given that we have glass all OVER I had to catch him quick, so I grabbed a towel and had him caught within a minute. (Im rather pleased with how my boss was shocked at how good I was at catching birds. ^^ This is the third time Ive done that too hehe.)He was SOOOO DAMN CUTE. I was smart and kept my glasses on this time (remembering the last bird with a long beak I caught tried to take out my eyes with said long beak). He had a long, warm skinny little neck and a yellow beak and kept squirming. I bundled up his feet and body under one arm and held his beak with the other and let him go out in the back yard. He flew off making displeased grawking noises at me. One of my coworkers has a pic of me holding him on his phone but we dunno how to get it off --* Im kicking myself for not getting a better look at the little birdy before letting him go. But still I got to hold him and that made me happy all day ^^ (And Fox is prolly laughing at me and going "such a bird geek!" Yes I am =PPPPPP)

Anyhow I got back from work and Sharon came over. We cleaned opossum bois bones and Ive got most of his skull put right. Hes so pretty! And Sharon is tickled pink with the bones shes got. 'cept for the fact that possums are stinky bastards and this guy reeks something bad. Im soaking my stinky coons bones in mint green tea to see if it 1) makes them smell better/neutralizes the stink, 2) dyes them a nicer color, a soft brown/tan or something other than that bleached out eye searing white. Sharon tried out my ammonia to neutralize smell. So far it didnt harm the bone and it seems to have taken out the stench (dunno how well yet since it was still damp when she left)- but now instead of smelling like dead opossum its smelling like nose burning ammonia.... hoping that goes away when it dries.. Id rather have it smelling like dead possum than ammonia...Still need to test it on grease. Hope that works. I can deal with smells if itd just work on grease. *sigh*

I seriously need to stop toying with stuff that doesnt need doing immediately and get some work done...

Just thought Id share this image I found while browsing the net for golden eagle pics. http://sites.actx.edu/~porter_da/vftn/tour/Birds/goldeneagle.htm REALLY bad taxidermy horror! (I wanna sing YMCA to this picture...)
