Morning Ed: Animals {2017.10.05.Th}
[An1] Atlas Obscura looks at sea silk.
[An2] Gender-segregated dog parks? (Needs to be viewed in Chrome or something that can translate it for you)
[An3] The sea harbors many scary creatures.
[An4] Peppa Pig is global phenomenon, which has caused some issues involving (eek) spiders.
[An5] It seems to me that the shellfish should have thought of that before they decided not to evolve into a tool-wielding species.
[An6] It’s one thing for a bank to be overtaken by rodents, but masked ones have to make them especially nervous.
[An7] Eventually, dogs will be allowed everywhere.
[An8] For such a slow animal, this tortiose sure got around. The seeming grin on the picture is just priceless.
[An9] Boom-shakalaka-boom-shakalaka-meow.

They don’t just pinch anymore.Report
Crabs aren’t going to become our tasty dinners passively anymore. Its going to be a rumble on the sea floor between the fisherman and the crabs and the Restaurant Critic is hanging on in anticipation.Report
If I am parsing your logic here correctly… we’re implying that the Restaurant Critic eats the loser of the Fisherman v. Crab rumble? Is that a blue state thing now? 🙂Report
I’m trying to riff off of the opening line’s of Springsteen’s Atlantic City. The Restaurant Critic replaces the DA.Report
Dang, not a big Springsteen fan, so missed that. I am a big fan of restaurant critics, they are… del… er, delightful.Report
[An1] This stuff seems almost as rare as that mussel that was used to make purple dye the Romans used. Shame the EU won’t let commercial harvesting.
[An5] Somebody somewhere is going to turn this into the human’s fault now.Report
Perhaps the clam is hard to farm? Although we are getting pretty good at figuring out the protein chains that form silks and coming up with ways to manufacture them.Report
I so want to make an inappropriate sexual comment here……Report
Damnit @damon ! Coffee coming out my nose and everything…Report
An8 – Diego’s victory over the hare is now total.Report
