E.g. they contribute a multitude of diseases which is a good method to enforce evolution

And I voted Bundaberg Rum - there websites wants to know my birthday! On my birthday! How creepy is that??? They are following me!

Jupp. That's where Darwin erred. He totally underestimated the effect of mosquitoes (the name alone!) on populations of e.g. bumblebees - and what effect this has, you surely know!

how short-sighted of him, really. tch.


speaking of well-trained (or not) dogs, the other day i saw a man about a walking a dog so HUGE i had to ask him what kind it was. from a safe distance, i leaned over slightly so he would know i was talking to him. he said it was a dogue argentin ("dogo argentino"). the dog said "WOOF" and leaped straight up in the air, then tried to bound over to continue the discussion up close and personal. the man got a better grip on the leash and i could see how hard he was working to keep the beast in check, and i sidled a little further away. he looked very friendly (a little *too* friendly for my taste, if you know what i mean) but with a dog that size i'd rather not take any chances.

i tried to find a photo to give you some idea of the scale but the few with a person in them usually showed the person kneeling down next to the dog. this one is pretty good though as it also gives a good approximation of the dog's reaction to me :

Barry Manilow?!?
I hardly had an opinion about crocs but now I despise them!
Eradicate crocodiles!


Sheesh!...Barry manilow!... Where's this world going to...

I think a Great Dane is larger (though it might be less massive).

The dogo argentino was on a list of dogs that were not allowed to breed (together with the pitbul and three other dogs). Not sure what happened to that...

They totally can read minds! and they fly around madly, aiming for your head, and they come in a zillion sizes and colors, and they always know how to surprise you when you least expect it and they are just NASTY!
