aranamitouma (10:42:55): Xenom73 (10:25:23): Just a recap on the shrimp from last night.

It strikes at 45mph underwater, the fastest strike in the world. It strikes with over 200 pounds of force. Its eyes aside from seeing everything ours can, also sees into the infrared AND ultraviolet spectrum. When it strikes the displaced energy and water create a bubble, when that bubble explodes it reaches the temperature of the surface of the sun (although only for a fraction of a second) said energy looks slightly similar to lightning erupting over its target of the strike.
Xenom73 (10:26:00): that shrimp is pokémon hax
cheesenipagent (10:43:28): Mantis shrimp?
aranamitouma (10:43:49): yes :D
aranamitouma (10:46:48): http://i50.tinypic.com/2igncdz.jpg i want this
aranamitouma (10:46:54): i want to catch it in a pokeball
cheesenipagent (10:47:39): Heee. Those things can cut through glass, you know.
cheesenipagent (10:48:11): And they have the most advanced eyes of any animal.
aranamitouma (10:49:26): Xenom73 (23:38:59): http://zip.4chan.org/v/src/1261114493257.jpg hes so cute until he breaks the glass of your aquarium with his claws ._.
aranamitouma (23:39:23): *squeaked with joy*
Xenom73 (23:39:51): yes, BUT can crack the glass in your aquarium to escape if it feels so inclined
aranamitouma (23:40:05): BUT CUTE
Xenom73 (23:40:47): yes BUT TANKS IS EXPENSIVE
cheesenipagent (10:49:31): Because of how the eyes move, they can percieve objects in more complete 3d than we can, and can judge speed and direction of an object with precision.
cheesenipagent (10:49:32): also, it looks adorable and rediculous and vaguely like its face wants a hug.
aranamitouma (10:49:37): (the 4chan link is to that pic)
aranamitouma (10:49:55): Xenom73 (10:28:00): I mean just fuck ._. its probably the most bad ass thing alive. Its the mother fucking hammer-claw of the north star, jesus christ!
Xenom73 (10:29:10): oh look at the cute little shrimp, I think i'll stroke its feelers! - STRIKE -

cheesenipagent (10:50:36): XDD
aranamitouma (10:50:51): ... man, this would make a GREAT fakemon
cheesenipagent (10:50:54): http://www.ryanphotographic.com/images/JPEGS/Odontodactylus%20scyllarus%20mantis%20shrimp%20%20Fiji.jpg because they're just too awesome?
aranamitouma (10:51:20): *made a squeaky noise* SO MUCH JOY
cheesenipagent (10:52:23): http://jessie.bluejay-nest.com/wp-content/images/shrimpmantis.jpg and this is what their arms are like.
aranamitouma (10:53:21): ffffffff this is a chain of evolutions
aranamitouma (10:53:33): and that's the final
cheesenipagent (10:53:37): http://www.underwatertimes.com/news3/mantis_shrimp_rainbow.jpg and here's another

cheesenipagent (10:54:52): http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/images/stomatopods/stomatopod.jpg the mantis shrimp is concerned for your wellbeing!
cheesenipagent (10:56:08): http://berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2003/11/images/shrimp_fluor.jpg then it glows, because it's evolving.
cheesenipagent (10:56:12): (Yes, some of them have flourescence, too)
aranamitouma (10:56:33): WHY ARE YOU KILLING ME
cheesenipagent (10:56:47): BECAUSE I LOVE YOUR AWESOMENESS.
cheesenipagent (10:57:11): http://week.divebums.com/2007/Jun18-2007/mantis-shrimp_dan-schooler.jpg *Mantis shrimp peeks out to agree!*
aranamitouma (10:57:44): *hyperventilates*
aranamitouma (10:57:48): *clings to her screen*
cheesenipagent (10:58:09): XD I'm glad I'm not the only dork out there who thinks that these sorts of things are adorable
aranamitouma (10:58:23): mom thinks it's pretty, too :D
cheesenipagent (10:58:30): 8D
aranamitouma (10:58:57): also brb sending this entire transaction to my zoology teacher
cheesenipagent (10:59:48): okay!
aranamitouma (11:02:21): -- actually do you mind if I post this to LJ
aranamitouma (11:02:27): to share the mantis shrimp love
cheesenipagent (11:02:36): No problem 8D

ETA: EXACTLY HOW AWESOME IS THE MANTIS SHRIMP?

Xenom73:
BEFORE THERE WAS TIME, ALL MATTER INTHE UNIVERSE WAS ONE, WITH THE EXCEPION OF THE FIRST LIFE. THE FIRST LIFE WAS OF PERFECT FORM, IT WAS THE MANTIS SHRIMP, AND THE MANTIS SHRIMP SAW THE SINGULARITY OF ALL MATTER, AND IT WAS CURIOUS. THE MANTIS SHRIMP PUMMELED THE SINGULARITY WHICH ERUPTED IN WHAT WOULD THEN BE KNOWN AS THE BIG BANG. LO' THE UNIVERSE WAS BORN.

Cheesenipagent:
AND WHERE THE MANTIS SHRIMP NOMS, GREAT VOIDS ARE LEFT IN THE UNIVERSE. FROM WHENCE, WE PERCIEVE BLACK HOLES.

Xenom73:
THE DEATH OF A STAR IS NOT A NATURAL EVENT, NO. FOR UNTO THE GIANT STARS IN THEIR BEAUTY AND RICH COLOR THE MANTIS SHRIMP PERCEIVES A RIVAL, AND PUMMELS THE STAR INTO OBLIVION.

Cheesenipagent:
WE ARE ALL JOINED IN LOVE AND AWE AT ITS GREATNESS AND ITS "HOLY FUCK"-ITUDE, WHICH ALL FEEL COME UPON THEM WHEN THEY GAZE UPON ITS LESSER BRETHREN.

Xenom73:
Chuck Noris wouldnt even know he was in a fight until he exploded across seven galaxies. Big Boss would only have time to give out his death cry before time paradox

Cheesenipagent:
OUR PLANET ORBITS AT AN ANGLE NOT BECAUSE OF FORCES KNOWN TO SCIENCE, BUT BECAUSE THE MANTIS SHRIMP ONCE GAZED IN OUR DIRECTION, CONTEMPLATING GIVING US A SLIGHT PUMMEL. OUR PLANET BEGAN TO WOBBLE IN FEAR.

AT THE CENTER OF THE GALAXY, THERE IS A BLACK HOLE OF UNPARALLELED MAGNITUDE FOR MILLIONS OF LIGHT YEARS. THIS IS ONE OF THE MANTIS SHRIMP'S SUMMER COTTAGES.

I want to do violence to this woman and her diary.

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 23:22:49 GMT

Dear Ms. Jones:

I do not know what your diary is doing as assigned reading for my Women's Lit class, which has had a heavy emphasis on feminism up until this point, but either please stop doing this:

After all, there is nothing so unattractive to a man as strident feminism.

130 lbs (terrifying slide into obesity-- why? why?)

131 lbs. (state of emergency now as if fat has been stored in capsule form over Christmas and is slowly being releaced under skin), [...] calories 700 (v.g.)

125 lbs. (if only could stay under 126 lbs. and not keep bobbing up and down like drowning corpse-- drowning in fat), [...] calories 775 (last-ditch attempt to get down to 119 lbs. before tomorrow).

Or GTFO of the curriculum, plz.

Sincerely,
170 lbs of pissed-off college student

DEAR INTERNETS

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 02:09:51 GMT

The Victorian era of the United Kingdom was the period of Queen Victoria's reign from June 1837 until her death on the 22nd of January 1901.

Gulliver's Travels was published in 1726.

NOT VICTORIAN.

The Temeraire books are set in 1805-1808.

ALSO NOT VICTORIAN.

Next person who gets this wrong will be smacked by the complete collection of Sherlock Holmes until they know what era is Victorian and what era is not!
