People in or around Byron IL should know that today is the annual turkey testicle festival.

One of the first things I remember my incompetent!boss telling me after he started was about this festival. I knew at that moment that just perhaps he wasn't going to be the best boss evah.

However, I *do* want a Turkey Testicle Festival t-shirt.

No, it's actually PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!!

Um, Tep just tried to kill me with teh funny.

Peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly wit' a baseball bat....

No, it's actually PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!!

Huh. Evidentally Peanut Butter Jelly Time scares the shit out of my cats and turns Ozzie into an insano-get spitting mad-attack the other cat-need to get locked in the bathroom-freak.

Good to know.

ok, I have cable, but the cable box is not functioning properly, so I'll need ANOTHER service call.

right now though, on Trio, a thing on a taxidermiost for Natural History Museum. cool.

Nice x-post with Sean.

just tested in on my cats. sylvester, who is closest was disturbed, but didn't run away. Oz, the fat fatty, look up, and then went back to napping.

Yeah, but Ozzie and Perkins-the-cat are a bit high strung at times.

I think ozzie may have actually gotten hurt in the freakout, since he won't let me near him yet, and is still spitting mad.

Robot fish at the London Aquarium:

Biologically inspired by the common carp, the new designs can avoid objects and swim around a specially designed tank entirely of their own accord.

This new kind of cyber-fish took three years to develop, by a team of scientists from Essex University.

Future generations may be used for seabed explorations, detection of leaks in oil pipelines, or even as spies.

Although robotic fish have been investigated for the last 10 years or so, the creators of the new models claim theirs are the smartest yet.

someone linked to that already. I find the fish disturbing.
