ever heard of a disco clam?
you won't believe the stuff that goes on in this article:
In an experiment, Dougherty put a mantis shrimp in the same tank as a disco clam and monitored the animals’ activity. But as she quickly learned, the bivalve was not to be bullied. Once attacked by the shrimp, the clam spewed acidic mucus at the crustacean, disarming the shrimp and sending it into a catatonic state. Upon further investigation, Dougherty and her team found that the clam’s fleshy lips were laced with sulfuric acid, a substance commonly found in car batteries and drain decloggers. (via)
remember mad cow disease?
well forget about it because the US is starting to lift the embargo on European meat, starting with Irish beef. Mooooooooooo!"no faster than a running possum"
i highly recommend this tasteful piece by the new york post about a former new york city medical examiner.
And she has a final warning for New Yorkers who live alone with cats: The urban legend is true. “Your faithful golden retriever might sit next to your dead body for days, starving, but the tabby won’t,” she writes. “Your pet cat will eat you right away, with no qualms at all. I’ve seen the result.”
