AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the humorous concept of "thread killers" on a forum, where participants analyze who tends to end conversations with their posts. The top offenders identified include franznietzsche, Moonbear, and tribdog, with a playful tone suggesting a competition for the title of "thread killer." Participants debate the validity of counting last posts as a measure of thread-killing ability, arguing that it should be adjusted based on the total number of posts each user has made. The conversation shifts into a light-hearted narrative, likening thread-killing to a horror movie scenario, with participants playfully accusing each other of sabotaging discussions and attempting to "steal" the thread. The banter includes references to fictional scenarios involving dramatic rescues and humorous characterizations, maintaining a light and comedic atmosphere throughout.

Speaking of cute, I'm wondering if I should say anything about DocToxyn's newest avatar. He doesn't seem to take it well when I think it's cute. I usually just prefer to keep my distance from snakes, but that one is posed in a way that I just want to reach out and pet it. :biggrin:

Aauughh, go ahead Moonbear, you can say it. BTW, for evryone's benefit how exactly does one go about assuming a pose that makes you want to "reach out and pet it"? :-p

So they're painting the floor of the room next door to my office and by the smell of the fumes and the effects they are having on my cognitive function I have determined that it must be a mixture of pigments, binders, benzene, halothane, jagermeister and sandalwood oil. If I don't post again soon, send help. At least I don't have to go out for "Happy Hour". *takes a few more deep breaths...* :cool:

*ring-ring* What...wait a minute, my shoe is ringing...Hello...no I won't accept a collect call from someone named MoonbearandEvo, even if they are calling from a supersonic RV.*click* Boy, it takes all kinds...

.. ohh sorry, I faded off for a second there, where was I..ohh yes...

WEEEEEEEEEEE, I'm a bird...

Okay, it's cute! :biggrin: I don't know, it just looks perky and happy, like it wants a nice petting. :blushing:

Must be painting season at universities. They kick the students out and then don't think those of us who actually work there will mind the fumes. They painted the floors in the basement of our building (the rest of the floors are tile or carpet) and the entire building was permeated with the fumes. The thing is, they start this around 5 pm, so I guess they think everyone will be home, so don't give anyone any forewarning that we might want to plan our schedule so we can flee the toxic fumes. :confused: Fortunately, I chose to work from home the day they just showed up to paint all the walls in the labs. The wall paint isn't as bad as floor paint though! Ugh! It gave me such a bad headache, I had to leave early that night. They did that for about 3 or 4 days, so after the first day, I just left as soon as I smelled the first whiff of the fumes. It leaves me wondering how they managed to design a building that houses labs so that odors from the basement can make their way all the way to the top floor so easily without being vented out.

We have to get him out of there! Franzbear, quick jump in my "PF Flyer" (convertible sports car) and we'll rush right over there!

Franzbear, didn't you learn that you should keep your head in the car when racing along at extremely high...

Oh my gosh! Franzbear look out! A picket fence!

I just got news that my aunt died. She's had cancer for a long time now. I've been expecting this news for weeks now. I didn't know her all that well, but she was always kind and friendly. My poor mom has been with her for a month now. I'm afraid she will take it hard. :frown:

Ditto on that Huck. It's not an easy thing, but in most of those cases, it's the best thing. All you can do is ride it out and support those who need it.

I've already got an M-16 in Illustrator. I used it in a trajectory problem in GP, but it's too small to show up there. I can put a big version into ImageShack if you want to borrow it. Only thing is, I have to leave for work right now, so can't do it until after 8:15 tonight.

Couldn't you just have immobilized them with the carpet cleaner (carpet bombed them, so to speak), and then squished them all at once with the street sign?
I hit the few that were in the trash can with the carpet cleaner. It worked surprisingly well. I didn't use the carpet cleaner on the paper bag because it would get all soggy. I tried shaking them out, but those ants cling on pretty good. After getting all the ones on the outside with the brush I flattened the bag as best I could with my hands.

Didn't even occur to me to use the carpet cleaner on the ants on the carpet. The carpet cleaner is for the car. I never thought of using it on the indoor carpets. :rolleyes:

I think much like Moonbear about insect life. Ants in the house aren't going to live very long, but I'll step over them if I'm walking down the sidewalk.

:rolleyes: Is that all? :smile: :smile:

Oh, now I can't remember the word in Dutch, but my Dutch friend told me that the word they use for flashers translates as "pencil salesman." :smile: I thought that was especially mean! Just a skinny little pencil, poor guy, you'd think he'd want to keep it hidden. :smile:

I've seen the frog frog frog before, and I'm still at a loss to figure out up from down in that photo. I think I'll stick with turtles.

The two headed turtle looked pretty happy. That would be bad if they didn't get along with each other.

That 3 frog frog looks uncomfortable. Do they have skin inbetween them or are all their organs all jumbled up in there? "Dammit Ed, why did you have to eat all those flies. Your intestines are sitting on my bladder again." "Stop kicking my liver Frankie!"

I don't even know what to say about the first picture. What side of the frog am I looking at? Does it have a head?

The purple one? He's a little freaky looking. Frogs shouldn't have such tiny pointy heads.

Evo, didn't have a chance to give you my full analysis prior to leaving the lab, so I had to wait until now. The purple toad is very nice, reminded me of the burrowing toads of Mexico, the pointed nose is designed for looser, sandy soils. I haven't completed my full analysis of the triple frog, although it looks supicious to me. If I had to ID the participants, I'd say the one on the bottom is a Bufonid toad due to the cranial crests and foot structure. The other two look to be Ranids by body structure and dimensions, but I could be wrong. It could be some mating process gone wrong, unless that their 'thang. It's difficult with the quality of the pic, do you have any history/info of the photo? The tortoise looks to be a Testudo sp., and you typically see such afflictions in turtles, I've never seen a tortoise, thanks!

The next set has one of my favorite groups, Monkey frogs, Phyllomedusines, they are very expressive. I'll try to round up some pics of them I've seen on the web. The White's tree frog also has a great look. Mantellas have some of the brightest colors in the frog world, very nice. Thanks for the shots.

I love frog pictures, they are so diverse. My brother used to have an aquarium with tiny frogs that would cling to the glass sides, they were so cool. Of course when I was little I would get a bucket full of tadpoles and watch them grow. I spent many afternoons collecting frogs and turtles in the bayou near my house. That's how I got my alligator snapper and softshell.

I used to have a horned toad too.

I guess my problem with snakes comes from when I was 4-5 and my next door neighbor came running at me with a shovel and tried to kill me with it. He barely missed me and hit the ground next to my foot instead. Or at least that's what I thought and ran inside and told my mother. He killed a 6 foot water moccasin (one of the most poisonous in the US) just inches from my foot.

I hate to encourage you, of course... but I kinda like it. Although the technical details could perhaps use a bit of work, the colour work is really nice.

Are you sure about that? Maybe he was trying to protect the snake from you and missed. :-p

I ran into one of those things once. I happened to be looking for bullfrogs in the bushes by a lake and found a water snake about a foot away from my face. I think it was as scared as I was. It jumped in the water and took off. I think it was a moccasin.

Another time my uncle found a rattlesnake in the shade under an old jeep in his yard in Arizona. He tied his horse up there so he grabbed a shovel and tried to shoo the thing away. This rattlesnake kept trying to slither towards him and not away. I have no idea what it was trying to do, but it looked like it wanted to bite him.

Snakes are pretty nearsighted. Maybe it thought the shovel was a cobra in distress because your uncle had it by the tail, and was trying to rescue it.

I really hate to put these things so close together; you're bound to get tired of them pretty soon. But I'm worried that the subject of dinosaurs might not come up again, so I'd better do this one now.
