Speaking of surveillance cameras, how are the ones that America's Funniest Home Videos installed in your bedroom working out?

I kid, because I can™

 

If they throw the Benny Hill theme music on top of whatever they caught on tape it'll be a network smash hit.

They'd laugh thinking that the film was sped up, but actually, that's just how fast you finish.

 

I kid because, I like to be a follower. ™

Ladies Man, that's what I am.

Geckos feet inspire high tech bandage

 

I know its petty, but they don't even have a picture of a gecko, they have a picture of a bearded dragon. Im a stickler for this type of stuff because I used to own both a bearded dragon and a gecko, and they really dont look that much alike

 

Beg differ, but your mad herpetologist skilz apparently aren't what they used to be.

 

The animal pictured in that piece is in fact a New Caledonian crested gecko, Rhacodactylus ciliatus. The spikey projections above the eyes are a dead giveaway.

 

Some other shots of this species that include the more gecko-like anatomical aspects.

The head of the animal pictured in the article doesn't look quite as robust as the shots above, but there is quite a bit of morphological variation among the strains sold as pets. The thin-head animals are sometimes called crowned geckos. There is also sexual dimorphism in teh species, with only the males having the crown.

 

And while they have spikes just about everywhere else, none of the Pogona (bearded dragons) species I know of have the eyelash=looking things the crested geckos have. Pagona vitticeps (pic below), is the one typicallly sold as pets, and you can see it's quite a bit different than the crested gecko.

The pic of the day from Jim's porn collection :blink:

 

What the heck are you all referring to? I don't think I'm seeing the image you're talking about.

the initial picture on the page was changed. It was a Bearded first, then they changed it to a gecko later in the day, probably due to someone like me emailing them about it.

 

I owned both, I had Leopard, brown, and tokay Geckos, and a female Bearded dragon. It was a stock photo from getty images of a dragon on a vet table or something

OK, then, I'll rescind my suspicions over your herp acumen. And now I know who to talk with about crazy-cool things like anoles having two penises and such that usually make normal people wriggle a bit uncomfortably. :D

LOL, we can talk herps anytime.

 

I had a Vieled Chameleon for 6 years before he passed away(considering life expectancy is 4-6 years, I wasnt completely heartbroken).

 

Its going to be a while, but I think I am going for a monkey-tailed skink as my next lizard. I havent owned a completely vegetarian lizard since I had an iguana in high school(which had to go, those things are just a pain in the arse). I saw a MT Skink at a herp show and I really liked how laid back they were. If not, I would like a Euromastyx, but the heat specifications for those things are off the charts because they are desert lizards. I think I read somewhere they need a consistent 95- 105 degree spot in their cage, and the rest of the cage can be no cooler than 85 degrees? Thats nuts

Holy Cr@ppp! :o :o :o

 

That is unsettling indeed.

 

Yikes, that's not what I linked to. I linked to a goofball panflute flowchart and the chuckleheads and Chucklehead went and swapped the image.

 

THIS is what was supposed to be there:

Now the question, do I revise history and delete Mr. Manboobs on Parade or do I live him up to scar the psyches of everybody who reads the thread? :huh:

So, prostitution can't be the world's oldest profession because if it was, how did people pay them? They couldn't have without any goods and services which would have to have been procured through some sort of work.

 

I believe a great pair of philosophers put it best when they said: The difference between a hooker and a ho ain't nothing but a fee.

Before that, they were amateurs.

 

Regardless, she had to sell it first, so sales is probably the oldest profession :P

Can someone who knows a bit about computers help me out? It says I only have about 150 MB (I think it's MB) on my computer left and basically I can't download anything without a message popping up that the space left is at dangerously low levels. I was told that clearing out "cached" files was something I should do but I'm not sure how to do that.

 

Can someone help me out? FWIW, I'm running on Windows XP (don't know if that helps any).
