However, my four year old checked it out with me (and I let him since he can't read the profanity yet) and he claims that he saw a Megalodon at the state fair in a tank and that when I wasn't looking he put his hand in the water and that the Megalodon didn't do a thing about it.<br /><br />So, one of those two is wrong about their Megalodon badassery facts.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115002505324651653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-33642349630818843642011-06-06T19:20:24.864-04:002011-06-06T19:20:24.864-04:00I love that blog!

The girl who writes Hyperbole and a Half mentioned a book deal a while ago, and I've heard of more than a few non-humorous bloggers getting signed as well. It also helps that all of these blogs have a focus/theme and don't just detail day-to-day life.Kristin Laughtinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01536556357622503501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-31043590888863862642011-06-06T17:12:55.691-04:002011-06-06T17:12:55.691-04:00Loved his post - and learned a lot about sharks to...Loved his post - and learned a lot about sharks too.CathrynLouishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06380932922178601607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-9098611096295186362011-06-06T13:24:59.323-04:002011-06-06T13:24:59.323-04:00Wow.

I guess that's because humans are more consciously predatory than animals.<br /><br />I found two badasses on my back porch this week: a Luna moth, and a Dolomedes tenebrosus (fishing spider). They were each about five inches across. That was badass enough for me to snap a picture of both.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-51383473296844828972011-06-04T20:50:22.118-04:002011-06-04T20:50:22.118-04:00Funny, though maybe a little light on reality.

Reality is plenty scary already. <br /><br />Still, it reminded me of a blog by a witty and iron-stomached marine biologist called <a href="http://observationsofanerd.blogspot.com/search?q=Sci-Fi+Worthy+Parasite" rel="nofollow">"This week's sci-fi worthy parasite."</a><br /><br />My husband was so freaked by the ameobic meningitis (Naegleria fowleri) that he wouldn't let me use it. In a science fiction novel. <br /><br />Don't read it right before you go to bed. Especially the <a href="http://observationsofanerd.blogspot.com/2009/04/this-weeks-sci-fi-worthy-parasite.html" rel="nofollow">loa loa worm</a>.
