For ita: Video of decomposing piglets
It's gross, but actually not as gross as I was afraid it was going to be. Oh, and YouTube makes you verify you're an adult to watch it.
Dr. Jerry Payne's time lapse movie of the decomposition of a baby pig. The technique of time-lapse photography is employed to illustrate the rapid removal of carrion (4 days reduced to approximately 6 minutes). The film demonstrates the sequence of tissue destruction and the role of insects in the ultimate dismemberment of the pig carcass and soil movement. The pink and purple beads were added to show the intense activities of the insects in moving the carcass and soil. Succession is the idea that as each organism or group of organisms feeds on a body, it changes the body. This change in turn makes the body attractive to another group of organisms, which changes the body for the next group, and so on until the body has been reduced to a skeleton.
It's the cirrrrcle of liiiiife....
It's almost dinner time, I think I'll avoid that video.
Yeah, I was eating when I watched it. (Pepperoni has pig in it, right?) I was all set to click on 'pause' at a moment's notice, but I didn't have to.
Maybe it's because I grew up seeing dead and decaying animals on a somewhat regular basis....

Blah. I'm neither logging in nor signing up. YouTube doesn't have sufficient pull for me yet to do that.
There was a scene in this week's CSI that made me think of the video--I'd heard of it, but hadn't had a look for it.
is it J's birthday?
Yup. Stretch turns 30. I asked around to make sure krav people were going to be there, because I'd hate to show up alone and be surrounded by strange shiny people.
Yay! Internet connection is back! I should stop borrowing this signal.
Australianistas, beware of snakes!
Australian wildlife officials warn that a serious drought is driving tens of thousands of snakes into urban areas.
Many venomous reptiles are moving into residential and business areas in search of moisture.
Experts have warned that an army of snakes is on the move, looking for water. Driven by extreme thirst they have been discovered in gardens, bedrooms and even Australian shopping centres.
SciFi needs to make a movie!
be surrounded by strange shiny people.
But you could add to your list of you've made out with who have an IMDB entry...not that I'm advocating that you do that.

Blarg. (not clicking) My uncle raises pork (and it is heavenly pork. OMG!) But one of the sides of this is if you tour the nursery, it involves
discarding the carcasses of the piglets that didn't make it,
through no fault of the farm, it just happens. Sometimes the sow accidentally does it, sometimes it just is. But seriously? Depressing. Two of mys cousins really don't deal well with it now, which is funny, since they were raised with it. And one is a vet!
And then there is the tail-snipping. AHRG. Anyway. I'm nicknamed Piglet by my dad because the sounds I made when a baby reminded him of the piglets on the farm (maternal grandparent sold farm to her brother after I was born.) So I've a fondness for them. Even as they taste REALLY GOOD.

No more! I've sworn off the IMDB, and I've been very true to my word since I made it.
