Surely a sign of the apocalypse.

I've been feeling very fond of octopi since I started reading this stuff though. (Just love the one who stuffed the bad seafood down the drain while maintaining eye contact with the zookeeper person. "This... will... not... do. Am I clear?")


Really? When and where did that happen? How did I miss it?
Oh, probably happened while I couldn't get in here and busied myself with FB Zoo Builder. Good thing I don't have have an octipus in my zoo yet.

If you wanna to prick your thumbs I suggest Rosie.


Rosie, you're all right, you wear my ring
When you hold me tight, Rosie, that's my thing
When you turn out the light I got to hand it to me
Looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie.

I'm not overly fond of them myself (plastic bags), except when i am walking little doggies, and one of them produces something which must be cleaned up.

*************************************************

By the pricking of my thumbs is a reference to a quote of Shakespeare. It's in MacBeth for anyone willing to go find it. Incredibly, you'll find that the quote was selected to match the theme of the thread.

@Setanta,
If you have prickly thumb, maybe you should get that looked at by a doctor.
