Burning man mantis
Google\’d “godzilla hump” and filtered extra large images, and found this praying mantis for the burning man festival thing. Was kind of a coincidence that I had done a search for praying mantis just before that after seeing the post on MCS with the mantis and dog.

Nacreous Clouds
Nacreous or “mother of pearl” clouds are made of microscopic ice crystals floating in the stratosphere 9 to 16 miles high. These clouds gather when the temperature in the polar stratosphere drops below -85 C. Because of that numbing threshold, they tend to appear only during winter over cold places such as Scandinavia, Alaska and Iceland.
Nacreous clouds are supposed to be rare, yet sky watchers in Scandinavia has spotted them frequently during the past two weeks. Could this be a “nacreous storm”? A similar, mysterious abundance of nacreous clouds occurred in January 2008; it could be happening again. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for mother of pearl during the twilight hours after sunset or before sunrise.

Some Bad News and Some VERY Bad News
Doctor: I have some bad news and some very bad news.
Patient: Well, you might as well give me the bad news first.
Doctor: The lab called with your test results. They said you have 24 hours to live.
Patient: 24 hours! That’s terrible! What could be worse? What’s the very bad news?
Doctor: I’ve been trying to reach you since yesterday.

The dwarf henchmen of Dr. Girlfriend when she was the villianness “Lady Au Pair.” Horribly creepy and fucking hysterical. Not to be pissed off unless you particularly enjoy lacerations to your face.

Everything about this pic I can understand except one thing: How do you justify to the brass bringing it aboard in the first place?
