Turned out I was a frog of glass.

36. there's a frog up here in the arctic that sits in the mud when its time
for winter and freezes solid as a block of ice. when spring comes, it slowly thaws and rambles out again. I have no words.

47. This palm crab appeared on ICHC...
His (photoshopped-in) co-star was an elegant black cat.
Elegant Black Cat was in a sitting position, and appeared to be looking over his shoulder and calling to somebody off-camera:

"HEY JOEY! GET THE HOT SAUCE!"
:rofl:


Why am I telling you and not just showing you?

:wtf:

:blush: I couldn't convince the image to come up on the ICHC site. :shrug:

13. If they're edible
you could probably just rip a claw off and let it regenerate another one.

Meanwhile, you and your entire extended family could eat off of that goodness for a week.

But they both look similar. Popeye was a very strange toon.

26. Those that might fit through the cat door are the most worrisome.
How'd you like to meet one of 'em late at night in your kitchen eating the cat food?

Or in your bedroom? Or in your bed.

That's really why we let the dogs sleep on our beds... Hopefully they'll bark if a giant rolly-polly, purple frog, coconut crab, or anything else like that gets near.

41. ligers are born sterile. Someone showed a picture of the naked
mole rat a few years ago and asked us to guess what it was. Someone said it was a penis with teeth and I swear I am still laughing.

48. I had to look up that Giant Coconut Crab to see where it lives - just so I know not to move there
That thing would freak me out if I found it rumaging in my garbage can. IT'S HUGE!!!

BTW, I remember a few years back on Top Chef, they had odd animals as part of a Surf & Turf competition. One of the animals you could pick was the the geoduck. I just assumed it was some sort of fugly duck until I looked it up on wiki.
