| Snakes....On a Plane? |

Baby pythons escape during flight in Australia
http://www.cbc.ca/cp/Oddities/090416/K041602AU.html
MELBOURNE, Australia - Four baby pythons escaped from a container aboard a passenger plane in Australia, leading to a search that forced the cancellation of two flights, the airline said Thursday. Twelve non-venemous Stimson pythons were being transported Tuesday on a flight from Alice Springs to Melbourne in the plane's cargo area in a bag inside a plastic foam box with air holes. When the flight landed, it was discovered four snakes had escaped from the package, a Qantas spokeswoman said in a statement. A reptile expert searched for the 15-centimetre-long snakes but did not find them. It was not known if the snakes were still on the plane or if they had somehow escaped outside after the plane landed. In the meantime, the plane missed two flights it had been scheduled to fly and passengers were transferred to other flights. When the snakes were not found, the airplane was fumigated and it returned to service Wednesday. Stimson's pythons, which can grow up to a metre long, live in western and central Australia and are not an endangered species. © The Canadian Press, 2009

| Gerbils Takeover! |

China tries abortion pills to rein in multiplying gerbils< BEIJING - Chinese state media reports forestry officials in far western China have resorted to scattering abortion pills near gerbil burrows in a bid to halt a rodent plague threatening the desert region's ecosystem. Xinhua News Agency says the pellets have "little effect on other animals," but can prevent pregnancy in gerbils and also induce abortion in already pregnant females. In 2003, officials installed hundreds of perches for owls and eagles hoping the birds would cut back the rodent population but gerbils have continued to be a problem. Xinhua says gerbils use too much of the area's limited grass to make their burrows and damage plant roots with their underground digging. Desertification is a major concern for China. Deserts currently cover about one-third of the country and officials fear global warming will accelerate their expansion. The report did not say what was in the "tailor-made" contraceptive pellets, which have been used in the Gurbantunggut desert since May of last year. "It's a good way to tackle the desert rat plague," local forestry official Du Yuefei was quoted as saying. Du, chief of the epidemic prevention division of the Changji city forestry bureau, told Xinhua 200 kilograms of the drug were strewn over 49,000 hectares last year and cost the bureau US$11,400. There's been a slight drop in gerbil numbers since the program was started, Du said, with about 11 gerbils now caught for every 100 traps laid out. Previously, 12 gerbils was the average. Contraceptive pellets have been mixed into bird feed in St. Paul, Minnesota to help rein in that city's pigeon population and officials in Los Angeles have used contraceptive injections on squirrels. Animal rights groups often support contraception as a humane alternative to killing animals deemed pests. © The Canadian Press, 2009 http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2009/03/25/tech-090325-gerbils.html |

Stolen from Pepemache, I agree with the majority of this and definitely the spirit of it...Comments?
1: Life is not fair-get used to it.
2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
3: You will NOT make $40,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with an iphone and a loft until you earn both.
4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping- they called it opportunity.
6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents’ generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want -- good or bad -- BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you.

rye_bunny might like or laugh at this at least...
Grocery Store | Indiana, USA (A lady comes in with an 8-foot boa constrictor draped over her shoulders.) Customer: “Where is your cookie aisle?” Me: “No! No! No! You cannot bring that in here. You have to leave.” Customer: “Why? He won’t hurt you.” Me: “I’m terrified of snakes for one, and also, it’s a health code violation.” Customer: *walking closer to me, as I slowly back away* “That’s crazy! I’m not leaving, and you can’t make me. Plus, he’s not on the floor or touching anything in the store, so how can it be a health code violation? Now, where are the cookies?” Me: “It’s a health code violation because no animals are allowed in a store where food is served, unless they’re service animals, and that’s not a service animal.” Customer: “You’re crazy!” Me: *calling to manager* “Can you please come out here, NOW?!” Manager: *walking over* I’m sorry ma’am, you’re going to have to take the snake outside. You can come back in only if you get rid of it.” Customer: “I’m not leaving the snake outside; I’m going to get the cookies.” Manager: “Ma’am, you’re terrifying my employees and customers, and it’s a huge health code violation. If you would like, you can tell me what kind of cookies you’d like and hand me your money, and I’ll go get them for you. Customer: “I’m afraid that’s not going to work either. My snake here likes to pick out his own cookies.” Me: “…” Manager: “Then I’m afraid we can’t help you and you must leave.” Customer: “I’m going across the street, and telling the police station you won’t let me shop with the snake. This is an outrage, and this isn’t the last you’ve heard of me!” (We never saw her again.)

I keep hearing people talk about (and we're talking broadcast news commentators and politicos as well as joan and joe average) how 'Global Warming is obviously been proven wrong cuz it's so cold and we had snow and ice!' *facepaws* Yeah the term might be 'Global Warming' but it's Global Climate Change'!
When the climate changes in one place colder or warmer it changes the fronts and wind patterns and so on and over years this can change climate regions and patterns .. like the proverbial frog in the pot it doesn't feel it until it's boiling already. There are certainly differing opinions and theories about whether or not we as humans have helped to change this good or bad or whether it's just a pattern that cycles. But make no mistake about it regions have changed ... Arctic shelves melted away not returning though they never had for many many generations before with wildlife and forests changed. Droughts that last much longer and are more severe than before .. tornadoes, hurricanes in areas not known for them and record temperatures below and above.
It just frustrates me that people aren't thinking or getting to understand what the terms mean. Feel free to sit on the many political sides of the issue, that's something different. But don't pull an 'ostrich' and pretend it's not there.
Funny that it correlates with economic problems too ..just realized that ..hmm. |

| Majel Barrett Roddenberry RIP |
[Dec. 18th, 2008|01:30 pm] |
We lost another great today Majel Barrett Roddenberry and wonderful character actor and friend to Sci-Fi fans all over and from what I understand though I had not met her a very warm and forthright woman. http://www.trektoday.com/news/181208_01.shtml
I am glad she will live on in the roles and voices she portrayed and embodied, including next year's big new Star Trek feature as once again the voice of the computer. My personal favourite role of hers was the quixotic , bold and strong Lwaxana Troi from TNG, DS9 and in some games.
