This is what happens when small boys, who have learned to move chairs around, go suspiciously quiet in the kitchen.

when boys make noise you know it's normal, once things get silent, then you know something's on

    Oh, you are raising minions that can take care of my dish for me. That is so thoughtful of you.

     

    I am here, that means I need points! :)

     

    Nice to see you again. If you want points then you need to start working for them. :baalzamon:

    But it looks like he wanted to help wash dishes... :smile:

     

    I think Turin is right, when he gets older he will be not only willing but eager to help out around the house.

    Bahahaha!! Oh man. Panchi, that had me rolling.

     

     

     

    Oh btw, Tina, did you know that it's Illegal to name your child Ikea in Sweden?

     

    Dumbledore is an old English word meaning Bumblebee.

     

    Books on ethics are significantly more likely to be stolen or missing from libraries than other books.

     

    In 2013 you can re-use calendars from the years 2002, 1991, 1985, 1974, 1963, 1957, 1946, 1935, 1929 and 1918.

     

    There is a lake in Australia that glows in the dark.

    Oh, random facts. Me like. Yes, I could guess that you can´t name your kids Ikea. We have a lot of rules about what name you can choose for your kids. But the rest I did not know. 5 points!

    New Year´s Points Part 2

     

    Find a pic of/facts about an animal that I haven´t heard about before. No snakes! I will take points from you if you post snake pics. *nods* The animals can be present, prehistoric or made up. The crazier the better.

    Solenodon

    No, it’s not an ROUS.  The strange solenodon is a mammal found primarily in Cuba and Hispanola. Sure, it looks cute and manageable enough – sort of like an over-sized hedgehog. Too bad the solenodon injects rattlesnake-like venom through its teeth, the only mammal to do so. Easily annoyed, the solenodon bites at the drop of a banana leaf. Still, being both a carrion feeder and insectivore, it is a vital species in its ecosystem. It was thought to be extinct until scientists found a few still alive in 2003. It is in grave danger of extinction.

     

    I read ROUS then banana, therefore it needed to be posted *noddity* >.>

    Monito Del Monte

    The “little mountain monkey” of South America is not a monkey, but rather a marsupial, thought to have arrived from Australia long ago. It’s tiny – only about 5″ full grown. They are nocturnal and carnivorous, and famous (well, among scientists) for their unusual tail, which can store enough fat to make this little pipsqueak double in size. This allows them to go for long periods without food. Sadly, the always-prepared monito del monte is in danger of extinction.

    Aye.jpg

     

     

    The Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a strepsirrhine native to Madagascar that combines rodent-like teeth with a long, thin middle finger to fill the same ecological niche as a woodpecker. 

     

    It is the world's largest nocturnal primate, and is characterized by its unique method of finding food; it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood and inserts its elongated middle finger to pull the grubs out.

     

    Daubentonia is the only genus in the family Daubentoniidae and infraorder Chiromyiformes. The Aye-aye is the only extant member of the genus (although it is currently an endangered species); a second species (Daubentonia robusta) was exterminated over the last few centuries. Its one of the weird animals on earth.

    Lionesses show a preference for males with dark manes. Scar was sexier than Mufasa.

     

     

    Giant squids are used to study neurons because the cells for quick reactions are so large in diameter you can see them with the naked eye.

     

    Female mosquitos are the only ones who drink blood. They need enzymes in it to lay their eggs.

     

     

    Some mantis shrimp can unleash a snap so powerful that the resultant bubbles approach the surface temperature of the sun as they collapse.

     

    (later comment) They can also kick so fast that the vaporize water. Mine has a tendency to melt the sides of my tanks when she is upset.

     

    not sure about surface of the sun but wikipedia checks out on temperatures several thousand Kelvin high, if for a very short period of time

     

     

    A Hercules Beetle (Dynastes hercules) can lift 850 times it's own body weight..

     

     

    The surest way to differ a crane from a stork is that cranes never sit in a tree.

    this reminds of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_loris

     

    a poisonous monkey found in Borneo. Pretty cool yes, but what's really great about it is the execution of said effect (little literary note here: the difference between poison and venom is that venom is a poison injected by some type of fang like a spider or snake). The slow loris has poisonous glands under it's armpits and when it feels threatened it puts it hands under it's armpits and then put the secretions from there onto its teeth to give is a poisonous bite. Mothers have also been seen covering their babies in the poisonous secretions whenever they leave the nest to keep the babies safe from predators

    Lot of news in there. Not the slow lori though, which is incredibly cute. 5 points each to Ayla, Jani and Smiley.
