re: Pasha Bulker. That isn't a golf course, it's just a park. That was an interesting weekend the Pasha ran aground. Up to half a dozen or so other freighters came dangerously close to doing the same thing.

The Pasha Bulker weekend was crazy, the amount of rain and the number of people driving up to see it when it first washed up were incredible. It seemed like most of newcastle was driving to see it.
Also anonymous is right about it not being a golf course, it's just a park.

You can actually dive the Oriskany. More information is available on our website www.visitpensacola.com

Technically we are both right:
Class: Mammalia
Order: Rodentia
Suborder: Sciuromorpha
Family: Sciuridae
Tribe: Marmotini
Prairie Dogs ARE members of the marmot tribe, and we are quibbling over the genus:
Genus: Cynomys, versus:
Genus: Marmota
I still think they are genus marmota in that picture
They look to be too big to be prairie dogs.
BTW, I live in Alberta, where we see both, not to mention Richardson's Ground Squirrels, often confused with prairie dogs as well.
In any case, they are rodents..

Haha fair enough Maurice.
But I'm also familiar will all of those (I'm from Colorado), and prarie dogs live in the fields by my house. My vote is prairie dogs.
But I do see the arguement for marmot. They look pretty large in that picture. Although... not THAT large. ;)

Great photos on the Beijing Olympic construction projects, Avi! For more in-depth reporting on mind-blowing scale and speed of these projects, check out the May National Geographic special issue on China, with an article by Ted Fishman on China's urban construction boom. In an interesting turnaround from the situation in the US, where most of our products are Chinese, in Beijing all these new architectural designs are from Western companies, which sometimes doesn't sit too well with Beijing's citizens; "Some people in China—including Chinese architects—believe their country has become the Western architects' weapons testing ground":

I am sorry you feel the need to rip into China like the rest of the media - Obviously us Westerners don't like up and coming competition (China) or, for that matter, oil producing countries (where do I start?).
I was very happy to see Micheal Palin (arguably a man of the world) interviewed yesterday and when asked to coment on the Tibet issue, basically wouldn't, and even suggested after speaking to many Tibetans (including the Dalai Lama himself) that there would be a lot in it for them.
I am sick of idiots who read the propaganda press and think they know it all.
Oh I think the cartoon at the end really say's it all doesn't it? Whitout China us Westerners would not have many things we take for granted.

The 'sea dragon' is actually a Triops -- they are pretty cool, you can keep them as pets (buy kit on Amazon)... they have 3 eyes and like to do loops. Also one of the other 'dragons' (slender brownish one with spines) is a Polypterus/Birchir. Both are pretty prehistoric but part of the modern aquarium trade. Arowanas similar I'm surprised they didn't show up (capable of jumping to catch and eat small birds)...

I grew up in tropical Australia, often swimming and surfing in the open seas. I always took a casual, almost fatalistic approach to the dangers of shark attacks, never really thinking about it much except for the little blip of nerves after I saw Jaws for the first time.
But looking deep into the mouth of the shark in that amazing picture, and seeing the inside walls of it's body made a strong shudder run up my spine... what was I thinking! Getting attacked by that would be truly terrifying...

Fish are beautiful, they don't deserve to be hoiked out of their environment by some dick-head in a stupid hat who thinks it makes him special and paraded in front of a camera while they slowly suffocate.
Photographs that included animal cruelty are becoming a regular occurrence on this site, it seems.

My beliefs aren't drivel; they are based on the fact that as a species we have (well, some of us at least) have evolved beyond the hunter-gatherer role of our past.
I find it both pathetic and disturbing that you 'enjoy' photographs of species being slaughtered. I'm sure if you look hard enough you'll find some excellent bull-baiting photographs on here, and across the internet you can find some more sources of enjoyment; dog fighting, bear baiting, dolphin slaughter...

The men eat too much wild fish. So I think it is only fair, if a shark bites men in response to this unneeded violence.

bashing bulls all over the streets and arenas, THAT'S cruelty. and dog fights and similar things. but simply killing an animal for food, without the cavemen-type torture and gloating, is a normal and one of the most natural things, i think. just like sex, talking, walking, thinking. i admit, i'm a hypocrite, i like meat, but i don't won't to see the way that the animal died. but even if i did see it, i'd most likely shake the feeling in a couple of days and be myself again. eating meat.

The "friendly whale" IS indeed a whale - a Beluga, White Whale or Sea Canary. It is the only whale with a flexible neck, and is closely related to the even more peculiar Narwhal or Sea Unicorn, so called because of its single straight spiral tusk which can be nearly as long as the whale's body.

fantastic post as always DRB!
The fly on the urinal is a very old idea, though originally it was a bee, as a pun on apis - latin for bee.
The bomb is a T-12 Demolition bomb, as developement of the british "Grand Slam" bomb, on display at the US army ordinance museum, Aberdeen proving ground, Aberdeen, Maryland
The image of the boy in front of the large bomb is at the US Army Ordnance Museum at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Maryland. You can see it here:

that image of those two snakes were intriguing.
What were they doing?
Getting ready to fight of to kiss
who's milking the mouses?
Cats! but of course.
Those weren't two snakes at all!
The reptile on the right is a turtle... notice the lack of fangs among other differences.
