10:00 Musings


So. SO So So. The other day, we were reading a book to my little brother, who just happens to be obsessed with lizards. One lizard... in particular... caught my eye.
it is called the short-horned lizard.
or a horny toad.
It also harnesses the powerful ability.
to shoot blood from its eyes.
FROM ITS EYES!!!!
I mean... what the devil? Why? why do this?
WHYYYYY?
Wouldn't that just attract predators? I mean, i thought that predators were attracted to blood.
Or is that just shark rules? I seriously... just... ugh. UGH UGH UGH.
Is their blood poison? Does it seep into the skin?
Does it release a toxin sooooo deadly that even Osmosis Jones would not be able to save me?
Hhhm.
I guess I would be deterred from eating a lizard if it started shooting blood at me from his eyes.
Actually, i would FREAK THE CRAP OUT<<<<<
GAAAAHHHHH!
anyway...
here is a picture of the little devil. I think. if this worked. if not, go check it out. wikipedia, baby.

Nice descriptive writing; the picture and the subject matter, however turns my stomach! I wonder if we could get Noah interested in flowers or maybe chocolate.

Interesting that you comment on such a thing, because I just happened to see a Texas Horned Lizard on Thursday here in Kansas.

Haha! I don't think Noah should go anywhere near an interest enough, he already gets teased a BIT too much! :) Woah, Jake, that's pretty exciting!

At first I wondered why the Lizard had a bow around its ear. Then I actually looked at the picture. Um Gross and super cool at the same time.
