I should have been born a rich idler. I haven't missed much, just the rich part.

Not sure about Clouseau, but program certainly tries to be creative.

butterflies....

on NOVA (PBS) tonight they're showing the special on Monarch butterflies again---

just how do they go back to the same spot after the 4th generation?

"February/March - hibernating monarchs in Mexico and southern California reawaken, become active, find a mate, begin the flight northward and lay their eggs. Finally they die. These special monarchs have lived about 4-5 months through the long winter. March/April -the 1st generation monarchs are born -egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, adult butterfly; May/June - the 2nd generation is born - egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, adult butterfly; July/August - the 3rd generation is born - egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, adult butterfly; Sept/Oct - the 4th generation is born - egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, adult butterfly . . . but THIS generation does not die. It MIGRATES south and lives 6-8 months in Mexico or Southern California. They begin awakening and mating in February/March of the NEXT SPRING, and then lay their eggs! Withered and tattered from their migration and hibernation . . . they finally die"

Zingers, Twinkies, and Cupcakes. Stealing these foods, let alone eating them noisily under the delivery truck you stole them from... just ain't smart.

If humans get butterflies in their stomachs when they are nervous, what do butterflies get?

Waiting for the clothes dryer to finish is probably the most potent soporific I've ever experienced. Then when it's done, I suddenly come to life and don't feel sleepy anymore.

Anyone wanna play some toilet paper bowling???

That's because you lie on the dryer as it runs...nice, warm, rocking. Must be a Zooby thing.
