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.
Mmm. Shimmering slime. For some reason I'm getting a flash of Dru.
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.
I want to be where the people are
you're welcome
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!
seriously msbelle?
Don't make me break out
it's a small world after all

I'm afraid Ariel has got me now.
Please god let people respond to my emails as soon as they get back to the office tomorrow. I'm dying here!
Also, HR's response to the fact that my hire date is wrong on my paycheck? Oh yeah, I had hoped to get that fixed before you noticed. Well, shit, how long has it been wrong? And does it affect anything?
Also also, that email to HR also asked if there was any way to find out our leave balance (there is no automatic way to find it out, which I think is just bananas). The reply was silent on that matter.
