Whale facts.

Whales are a HOT! topic around my house right now. Tess came home after a distressing vision- a beached whale with chunks missing. Word on the street was it got hacked by a propellor and then (oh god) the sharks came. Oh the sharks! The terrible sharks! The sharks with the teeth! The terrible teeth! The terrible sharks with the terrible teeth! THey came. They bit. Chunks! They came and bit CHUNKS! With their terrible teeth! Ras (what would he know anyway) said it couldn't have been a propellor BUT the Newcastle Herald (a trustworthy tome) thought otherwise. And ANYHOW, terrible sharks with terrible teeth can confuse any situation which Ras should really have known, but didn't, because he knows nothing. So I say, terrible Ras. With his terrible teeth! Chunks! Sharks!

Rest in peace whale.

I walked in the door, chill tendrils of mist twirled across the cold tiled floor. Each step felt like a step towards my own doom. I knew from the signs, that the moment that I had awaited my entire life for......was now.

Fish swam nonchalantly towards my head. Sharks and stingrays circled their prey, but today they were not for me. I, to coin the phrase had bigger fish to fry. The anticipation mounted as I passed the conga eels. They were cool. I was distracted.

Suddenly my heart stopped. Across the room, staring at me, it's eye as large as a dinner plate was my foe. It stared at me, I stared at it. A battle of wills was unfolding. We stood locked, eye to eye for what seemed like hours. The ice enclosing my foe began to shake as if it would smash from the psychic energy being created around it. Alarms sounded, aquarium staff rushed in, took one look around them and decided who had to go.

They got me in an arm-lock and escorted me from the premises.

Otherwise I don't know who would have won.

Its an eel weend that blows nobody any good!

Pirate Superstitions-Holding me back.

1. Avoid people with red hair when going to the ship to begin a journey.
Red heads bring bad luck to a ship, which can be averted if you speak to the red-head before they speak to you.

2.Women on board a ship make the sea angry, but a naked woman on board will calm the sea.

Well, I guess it is nothing that a good dye job and costume change can't fix.

Liger-tasticness.

Ok, I am back again from my voyage of discovery! And boy, if you could see some of the sights that I have seen.....your hair would curl! Or at least grow on your chest. One of the wonders that I encountered was two-fold.

I saw a Liger! Yes, They do exist! Napoleon Dynamite's favourite animal! For some scientific background, a Liger appears when a Lioness and a tiger love each other very much.

The second most exciting thing about a liger is that the gene that stops tigers growing is passed down the female line, so not only do you have an amalgamation of two hideously fearsome beasts! They are HUGE!

But, the MOST exciting thing about them is that they like to hang round with Nicholas Cage.
