PICS VIII: 10% LARGER THAN PICS VII

[Suu]

I have to admit I find tarantula hawks are fucking cool...until I'm ever chased by one, of course.

We also have these great big mechanical looking hornets.  Last year, I got off the treadmill and went out back to cool down...And one of those bastards crossed the yard like he was on a mission, flew up my shorts, and went batshit.

And you say we have too much nature. WTF do you call THAT?!

One (1) hornet.

Of course, as soon as it did so, I reflexively started punching my junk and screaming.  THEN the neighbor looks over the fence.

Needless to say, it did not help my reputation as an upstanding citizen.

That sounds like a perfectly reasonable solution.

Thank God Richter wasn't there.

Uh, CNN...

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Could be worse.  Australia gets box jellyfish, which is meant to be so bad that getting stung by a Man O'War afterwards would actually be a relief in terms of pain.

Alongside stonefish and blue-ringed octopi and saltwater crocs and kraits and sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads.

Yeah, but AUSTRALIA.

Well, look at how you were dressed...

You were asking for it.

Oh, to have seen that!

Look what just washed up in RI today!



Reason #432 why I hate the Atlantic Ocean, and would rather swim with bull sharks on the other side of a sandbar from me in the Gulf of Mexico. Motherfucker! These things will KILL YOU.

No folks, that isn't Cthulhu placenta or a shoggoth, or the spawn of Yog Sothoth...that there is Portuguese Man Of War. It's not a jellyfish, it's a colony of toxic microorganisms attached to an air bladder and they float around the North Atlantic for fun and profit. They're common visitors to Southern New England in the summer time. This is what Tucson would breed if it was underwater.

I remember going to the beach one winter and finding there seemed to be a flotilla invasion of them, they were everywhere.

[Jez]

That was pretty rad, CPD.

Portuguese Man of War are an urban legend. That's actually a mylar birthday party balloon. After they lose their helium they float around in the ocean for basically eternity.

I submit that Portugal itself is an urban legend.
