Flea, that's adorable--I hope it's both true AND an April Fool's joke....as in, there are two PhD students named Josh who are single, but their friends (or they) wouldn't have posted it if it weren't April Fool's!
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ok, have put goopy stuff on my elbow. Hopefully this will cure my cancer of the elbow, or elbow-mite infestation or whatever it is....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's totally a Gund puppy!
I just emailed several people I don't know very well, asking them to do me a favor -- and promising to follow up with a phone call. What have I done.

ION, The Deadliest Creatures (Most Easy to Miss)
The Cone Snail is very pretty. But don't pick it up, as its venom can kill you in four minutes.
Also,
That frog over there, for instance: that tiny, brilliantly colored tree frog. Doesn't he look like some kind of Faberge ornament, there against that vermilion leaf? Wouldn't such a natural jewel look just gorgeous in a terrarium back home?
Pick him and you'll be dead in a matter of minutes. One second frolicking in the undergrowth, the next spasming and foaming on the jungle floor. No stinger, no bite, no venom: just the shimmering slime covering his brilliant body.
And the Sea Wasp's venom can kill you in 30 seconds.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mmm. Shimmering slime. For some reason I'm getting a flash of Dru.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I think I can pretty safely say that I'm in no danger of picking any of those up, venom or no.

Yeah, but one of them (that I didn't mention) all you have to do is step on. Plus it hides under the sand and is camouflaged. No fair!

That puppy is undeniably adorable.
I forgot to go to the post office to mail the thing that needs to be postmarked April 1. Which means I absolutely CANNOT forget when I leave work. Which means I'll forget.

Compassionately intolerant
Friends of a friend decided to advertise for a husband for her. She had 8 dates in 8 days, all chosen by people who knew and cared for her.
There was something about the second fellow of the 8.
I did the flowers at their wedding about a year and a half later. They are one of the happiest couples I've ever known.
That 'arranged' marriage really worked out!
