    I found two lists haha List #1: 10. Item #191367029: The Internet If people can sell plots of land on the moon, then why can't someone sell the Internet? Someone did just that, for the bargain asking price of $1 million. Of course, it was all just a gag and it's unlikely that this Pay Pal...

    Sensitive People

    I have a bit of a rant. I would also like to hear your thoughts on the matter and similar situations. I was at the mall yesterday. I needed new shoes, so I decided to stop by there. I’m not much of a shopper… I usually have an idea of what I need, I go in, get it, and pay. I find a really nice...

    My Raff Giant found out I love her sister, N. Viking, more than I love her. In an expression of shock, she produced this pitcher. On a more serious note, can you actually clip the lid of a pitcher back like this? I dont know if the wind did it or it grew up that way. I tried to do it to...

    A sad and unpleasant question

    My eldest chinchilla, Sarah, passed away last night, several days after a veterinary procedure to correct some crooked teeth. She had been recovering OK, but took a sudden turn for the worse around Thursday, and I didn't realize how serious the situation was until it was too late to get her to a...

    What CP were you in a past life?

    Charles Darwin once said, "I wonder what crimes the Drosera committed in their past lives", or something like that, and it made me wonder... what if one of us were carnivorous plants (I'm probably high on something, I think it's safe to say I'm nuts, leave the topic, I'm serious, don't go on, I...

    U. volubilis germination

    Just a couple shots, probably only of interest to serious Utricophiles. I took them because I recalled Taylor had mentioned that nothing was known about the seed to adult plant process. Figured I'd try to fill the void a little. 2 different germinants
