	BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Five Interesting Animals Sunday, September 30, 2007 Five Interesting Animals Because I'm too lazy to actually blog anything worth reading, I'll just steal this meme from PZ's unspellable science blog. I run out of gas around #3, so be advised. An interesting animal I had: Assuming this means "owned" rather than something that's illegal in most states. Lots of reptiles. Nile monitor (died). Savannah monitor (given away when dad tired of its avidly-carnivorous ways). Half a dozen chuckwallas (died or given away after years). Columbian red-tailed boa (gave away when I moved north to live with Malaya in 2003). Ball python (still healthy and with me, after more than a dozen years). An interesting animal I ate: Pheasant. My grandparents used to hunt these every year and granny made a dish with pheasant and some cream sauce over wild rice. Pheasant is like really dry, flavorful turkey. About the best bird I've had. An interesting animal in the Museum: I like skeletons. SD Natural History museum has some full size whale skeletons downstairs, and they arch overhead through about half the level. I enjoy walking through ribs; it's kind of reminiscent of those ossified Stonehenge-like rib cages shown in every scifi movie on a desert planet. (And then inevitably never seen up close, in bone or living form.) An interesting thing I did with or to an animal: This one's just begging for admissions of perversion and/or criminality, especially since nothing interesting exactly leaps to mind. I've never dissected anything more challenging than a frog or baited a hook with anything more than a worm, or a small fish (the best thing to catch big fish with). Oh, I know. Deep sea fishing when I was in my early teens our boat was besieged by sea lions, who kept zooming in and biting onto the fish we'd hooked and were reeling in. I caught two half fish in about ten minutes, both times starting to pull in something weighing several pounds, then nearly losing the pole when several hundred pounds of sea lion piggybacked onto my catch. An interesting animal in its natural habitat: The noisily-orking sea lions at Pier 51 are neither interesting nor in their natural habitat. So I'll say the wild moose I saw in Alaska, while touring around that northern state with my grandparents when I was about 10. They're basically just glorified deer, at least until you get close enough to one to realize you could pretty much walk under it without ducking. Labels: animals Posted by: Flux # 7:46 PM Comments: An interesting animal on the internet: Known by many as "flux", this nocturnal creature is recognized as snarky and somewhat clever. Once a Diablo II maven, the animal runs a half-hearted blog that is a shell of it's former self. The flux animal is a good writer which applies it's skills toward endeavors that may not or may not make it immortal, for example, fantasy writing and on-and-off blogging. The flux creature currently lives in California and may one day propagate with it's mate, the Malasia-monster. Stay tuned at this blog location . . . #: 5:01 PM posted by Anonymous May your commenters put more time and effort into their comments than the blog posts receive themselves. And yes, everything pretty much sucks now, but there will be momentous changes come December. A not inconsiderable portion of cyber animal's bio is no longer accurate, for instance... #: 9:15 PM posted by Flux Post a Comment << Home Archives May 2005 June 2005 July 2005 August 2005 September 2005 October 2005 November 2005 December 2005 January 2006 February 2006 March 2006 April 2006 May 2006 June 2006 July 2006 August 2006 September 2006 October 2006 November 2006 December 2006 January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 July 2007 August 2007 September 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 September 2008 October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 September 2009 October 2009 November 2012
