      Yes indeed!

      I watched a documentary about amphibians yesterday and learned about a legless salamander that looks like and burrows like a worm. The female of this species feeds her babies with a fluid that is something like milk. It also supplements their diets by shedding her skin every three days which the babies eat.

          Hi Coolwater,

          I don't have a link to the documentary, but here is a link to the particular type of salamanders I described:

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caecilian

          There are a number of species, although it looks like maybe only one feeds its young shed skin.

          Have fun.

                  The naked hunter, trying to escape the lascivious clutches of the local game warden, runs through a huge patch of thorny brambles and badly lacerates his....

                  Yes, and what about that guy who escaped prison, then raped and murdered the former warden? He got caught by the rangers because he was hungry and tried to rob a refrigerator on this couple's porch? When the cops caught up with him he was covered with mosquito bites and ticks. (shaking head) That moron traded a 5 year sentence for much worse.

                    On a slightly lighter note, I understand that my former home State of Alabama is still under threat from Hurricane Dorian. Damn that pesky NWS in Birmingham for telling all the good ole boys and gals not to get their nickers in a twist.

                        I hear Pluto is a planet again. I wonder if it had to bribe some other planets to be voted back in or had some blackmail

                            I recall commenting on Pluto's long deserved return to planethood. Did we lose some posts recently?

                              I have to say, I just don't get why the law gets bent out of shape by naked ta tas. Mind, I've never exposed mine, but they seem pretty innocuous.

                                Goodness, it's been 6 months since we've had a new post here.

                                imagine finding a bit of amber with a tiny skull in it?

                                      Hi Coolwater! Covid-19 is also causing strange things in the news. I get a little uncertain which thread to post what in, though!

                                        Then there is the whole toilet paper situation. Why toilet paper for gods sake?

                                        There was a tragedy...the driver and his dog are ok though. https://sanangelolive.com/news/urban...vlT94dIrNubqZ8
