The Flea Trap / Congratulations Mr. Pickles!
March 22, 2023, 03:24:27 PMApparently, turtles can become fathers well into old age. That's what happened recently with a 90-year-old radiated tortoise at the Houston Zoo.
Mr. Pickles has become the father of three hatchlings after a surprise egg-laying. A zoo resident for 36 years, Mr. Pickles is the oldest animal there and the newest dad.
According to a statement from the zoo, a herpetology keeper happened upon Mrs. Pickles, the companion of Mr. Pickles, as she was laying eggs at closing time.
Houston's soil isn't friendly to the Madagascar tortoises, so the zoo's animal care team quickly uncovered the eggs and got them to safety.
"It's unlikely the eggs would have hatched on their own if the keeper hadn't been in the right place at the right time," the zoo said in a press release.
Mr. and Mrs. Pickles have been together since the new mom's arrival in 1996, the zoo said. They have had only one other little Pickle, and that was in 1997.

The Flea Trap / Re: They keep dropping.
March 20, 2023, 04:45:34 PMJerry Samuels, who under the name Napoleon XIV recorded one of the 1960s' strangest and most successful novelty songs, "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!," died on March 10 in Phoenixville, Pa. He was 84.
His son Jason said the cause was complications of dementia and Parkinson's disease.
Mr. Samuels had had modest success as a songwriter and was working as an engineer at Associated Recording Studios in New York when, in 1966, he and a fellow engineer, Nat Schnapf, set a bit of doggerel that Mr. Samuels had written to — well, "music" may not be quite the right word, since the song consists of Mr. Samuels rhythmically talking over a backing of tambourine, snare and bass drums, and clapping.
"They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!" was, by any measure, one of the most bizarre records to come out in any year. It took off like, well, like crazy, reaching #3 in the U.S. and #4 in the U.K.
The single's B-side was "!aaaH-aH ,yawA eM ekaT ot gnimoC er'yehT," the same recording played backwards.

The Flea Trap / Sacrilege! Heresy! This is an abomination!
March 07, 2023, 02:41:46 PMReese's Peanut Butter Cups are getting the vegan treatment.
The Hershey Co. said Tuesday that Reese's Plant Based Peanut Butter Cups, which go on sale this month, will be its first vegan chocolates sold nationally. A second plant-based offering, Hershey's Plant Based Extra Creamy with Almonds and Sea Salt, will follow in April.
The chocolates are made with oats instead of milk, Hershey said.
Hershey has experimented with vegan chocolate before. It sold an oat-based chocolate bar called Oat Made in some test markets starting in 2021. But the new products will be the first sold throughout the U.S. under the "Plant Based" label.
Hershey said consumers want choice and are looking for products they consider healthier or with fewer ingredients, including reduced sugar and plant-based options. Hershey also introduced an organic version of Reese's Cups in February 2021.
Hershey said it developed plant-based versions of Reese's Cups and Hershey bars, some of its most popular products, because there's a dearth of mainstream plant-based chocolates in the U.S. market.

March 07, 2023, 02:30:08 PMGod continued, "I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper, I shall call these inhabitants Canadians, and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth."
"But Lord," asked Gabriel, "Don't you think you are being too generous to these Canadians??"
"Not really," replied God, "Wait until you see who I'm giving them for neighbors."

That is legit one of the ugliest females I've ever had the misfortune of laying my eyes on.
It can't be human, surely?
It's not. Trouble is her home planet doesn't want her back either.
