Our last giant pleco died a few weeks ago, and even with the economy where it is, finding a suitable candidate was a pain. As of today I’d like to announce that effective this afternoon, the position has been filled. “The Sucker” has accepted a full time position with room, heat and water, lighting and all meals included.
As an added bonus, he matches the driftwood log already in our tank (seen left)
]]>Introducing Princess Gracie:
With the recent demise of my photo gallery (possibly to return, if I find a gallery system that isn’t horribly nasty), I thought I’d post a recent photo or too. Not my dog, but it is my photo, so that’s good enough for me. ]]>
He only eats live food, so he is a ton of fun to feed. We’ve already managed to lose one cricket into our kitchen, luckily the cricket was never seen or heard from again, hopefully being smart enough to avoid venturing out where our killer cats could not quite manage to kill him. Luckily crickets don’t live long…
We’re hoping he’s actually Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud (from Saudi Arabia), and that he’ll be grateful when someone finally kisses him, but honestly the odds seem pretty low at this point.

Here’s what I don’t get: The creationist viewpoint does not, as I understand it, inherently exclude evolution. It seems to me that religion is pushing an “us vs them” war with science, when a better approach might be to complement science by adding perspective and spiritual understanding. Conversely, from the other point of view, I don’t really see anyone in the scientific community going out of their way to discredit religion, as much as hypothesize as new evidence is discovered.
Put another way, if I decide to believe in a just and loving god that made everything just the way he wanted, isn’t it reasonable to suggest that he might have big-banged, started that initial spark/seed of life that science can’t explain, thereby creating humanity by way of creating our ancestral evolutionary steps?
]]>The headline Goat hangs self in Canadian zoo is one such example. I mean, on one hand, an animal is dead. On the other hand, how often do you hear about any animal hanging themselves?
As for what I decided? Well the funny tag on this article speaks for itself. Besides, Calgary isn’t that bad, I did spend most of my 27 years living there.
