Good lord, Cashmere -- I understand the impulse to take something apart, but WHY shred a part of it?
Willow: It feels like we're going around in circles. Xander: Our circles are going around in circles. We got dizzy circles here.

Very impressive work, Cashmere. How long did it take him?
ION, I am soooooo sleepy right now. My nose nearly landed on my keyboard a few minutes ago! I think I'll head over and get a Diet Coke for the caffeine.

Now tagless for your comfort.

He has oral texture issues. He will shred paper, cardboard and all sorts of things if I let him. He's pretty bad about putting toys and clothing in his mouth and I have to watch him carefully.
It's why we had the problems with the cat litter. I just really can't take my eyes off him for too long a period.
How long did it take him?
As long as it took me to go pee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have to say, I was recently able to take apart a small boombox (as part of a science-eduation training/demo type thing), and it was freaking awesome. So satisfying!

Some kids are just shredders (a friend of mine was. me, I tend to roll things up..) Plus I can see the appeal of streeeetch-pop and chewing on the rubber.
xpost, honest!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That kid should be an assassin.
Get in, get out, shred the evidence.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ah, so it wasn't so much a random tiger attack as natural selection in action, then.
Well, she also ate part of a trainer's arm a year earlier. So, while they were definitely looking to Darwin themselves, the tiger in question had already proven herself ready and willing to attack (and eat) humans with considerably less provocation than these nitwits gave her, so IMO the zoo still bears a metric fuckload of responsibility. Last week's SF Bay Guardian had a cover article by a journalist whose stepfather was a wild game enthusiast and amateur refuge-keeper with interesting, if fairly depressing, observations about Siberian tigers, their strengths and abilities, and a lot of stuff the zoo damn well should have known about already.

I'd read that the trainer was feeding her incorrectly and the tiger basically thought her arm was food.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

In a way, it is....

I did the couple of things I had forgotten I had to do today, but it's still not even 4:30? Argh.
