    I wonder if it sits for hours on a big high branch while it's friends and family laugh at it for not being able to pluck up the courage to take the big dive, and worries about whether it's feathers will all come off when it hits the surface and it will look all stupid and have it's willy exposed.

    I suspect not. It doesn't look as though it spends much time worrying about pointless shit.

    I was only joking

        88 minutes seems quite a while to be in a toad's digestive juices. But ten I don't know much about toads. Brenda?

                        This is hilarious! What's so comical is that the ram seems to have shoved the guy -- who was peaceably fishing and minding his own business -- for no apparent reason. He was like, "There's a guy fishing. I think I'll butt him into the water. Maybe knock his hat off."

                        Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace. – Mike Ditka

                                      You are looking at a parasite called Cymothoa Exigua. It enters through a fishes gills, eats their tongue and then replaces it. This lil delight literally sucks out the blood off the fish's tongue, and then replaces the withered tongue with itself. Now every time the fish eats, it takes away a portion of the food for itself.

                                          I hate that this twitter feed has been deleted.

                                          I also am disappointed (@Klaus) that we can't embed tweets here - yet.
