3. The Loch Ness Monster.
I don't believe it exists. But I wish it did. Someone even came up with a taxonomic classification for it, just as if it were real: Nesseterias rhombopteryx; "Ness creature with the diamond-shaped fin." And the goverment of Scotland has placed it into protected status, which I think is super-cool; they don't even know if it exists, but they're going to protect it.

It would just be amazing to know that there was a dinosaur-age pleisiosaur swimming around 65 million years after his kinfolk died out.

35. Replicator's even better.
First, you make a lot of easy money selling replicated gadgets on eBay.

Then you distribute replicators to the world and watch commerce collapse and take society with it.

31. Ditto on Dragons!!
I love dragons. I was born in the year of the Dragon and I chose one as my avatar, too.

They are magical creatures that inspire and uplift those around them. :loveya:

34. Hey you!
:hug: ShineBoy had a great bd, thanks! And thanks for your good wishes, too. I meant to get back to you, but you know how it is...:eyes:

He had a sleepover party with his best friends. They were up til 3:30 am, eating junk food, watching tv and being silly. We didn't get much sleep, either, that night.

Glad to have survived it. :hi:
