There are a number of invertebrates, such as the horseshoe crab and most molluscs (including squid), with blue blood.
Yeah, I just learned about horseshoe crab bleeding! Their blood is MAGICAL!
Wesley: And how does your kind define love? Demon: Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'd be cautious but not overly worried. The gorilla body language in that whole sequence is very nonthreatening. A gorilla, a silverback especially, is certainly strong enough to do major damage, but they really aren't terribly aggressive. I'd be more nervous around chimps.
Yeah, a group of gorillas clustering around me would be cause to think "this is so cool!" Chimpanzees would be "please God, don't let them get upset and tear stuff off me!"
My dad has been to a couple of zoos in recent years, and gorillas are apparently fascinated by his wheelchair, focusing on him the whole time he's visible from their enclosure. When you see them up close, they're so gentle and you really get a sense of something person-like looking back at you out of their eyes.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Whereas when I visited the bonobo enclosure at San Diego Zoo, the reaction I got was a grinning bonobo plastering his erection on the glass. They're complicated animals.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My boss just sent me an email with the subject "pot distribution list". I think pot is an acronym for some sort of physician group, but it is cracking me up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You better watch out for the NSA or ATF or someone -- you know They monitor all emails!
I am ready to go to my parents', but they aren't there! I need to ask if they have room in the fridge for my veggie platter before I leave.

Your boss missed a golden opportunity to send it out at 4:20.

Ok- it is basically a list of school nurses and fax numbers, which somehow is making it funnier.

Who has two thumbs and Dylan's stomach bug?
THIS MOM.
Ugh.
I should eat something, but I have no appetite at all. It feels like someone's been jumping on my stomach. Currently trying to sip some tea.
