African Wild Dog Making a Stupid Face

According to Google analytics, the tool that I use to track my visitors, oneĀ  of the more popular search terms that brings people to this site is ‘African wild dog making a stupid face’.

There are some other gems as well, though not as popular as stupid dog faces. One of the best has to be ‘Rocket having birth’. I’m not sure what that even means. I think perhaps it might be some sort of weird sexual thing. But then maybe not. Another great one is ‘One thousand inbred people’. I sort of understand that one. It would be hilarious to see a huge group of inbred people hanging out, drinking moonshine and chatting up their sisters. However if you were looking for images of that why type in ‘one thousand inbred people’. It would be far better to just type in, say, ‘American pride rally’, or perhaps ‘Tasmanian singles night’.

I don’t know why people are searching for any of these things to be honest. The internet is undoubtedly a strange place. Apparently though, I’m one of the top results for the African wild dog faces search term: at least I am on Google in Europe.

European people, I know you are weird: that’s just part of who you are, you do weird things, you eat weird things, and you talk with a weird accent. That’s cool. I love Europeans. But why the hell are you searching for ‘African wild dog with a stupid face’?

The Lame Lion II

It’s clearly time for another episode of the near-legendary lame lion.

It has been awhile since I posted as Masters requirements are a hassle at the moment, along with a new writing contract, but there will be a decided increase in posts over the next three weeks. Hang on to your hats!

How inbred are you?

An infographic illustrating just how inbred you are.This is a chart so that you can work out just how inbred you are. My ancestors are all British, mostly from England, so I’m probably only a couple of close marriages away from having gills and a tail.

It is also kind of disturbing thinking about it as anyone that you’ve been ‘close’ with in your life is likely to have been fairly closely related to you; unless they were foreign. Thankfully I come from a young, culturally diverse country were marrying cousins is frowned upon. If I was from England, Ireland or anywhere that is surrounded by the sea I think this chart would make me a little unhappy.

Enjoy thinking about how close you are to that eleventh toe…

What mice really do at night…

Last night my flatmate spent the night curled up in a defensive ball trying to hide from the mouse that was running around her room chewing on stuff. While I like to think that I’m supportive in such horrible time in reality I’m actually not. Not even close.

So I made a post about what the mice in her room were really doing when she thought they were so innocently eating her books.

A big node to the Oatmeal for this one. You are very inspirational.

 

What the mice where doing is a mystery. We haven’t looked yet to see if anything has been ruined but my guess is that they were planning their revenge on us as the previous night I caught one of their mouse pals in a trap. That was in the kitchen though, a long way from my flatmates room. So either word travels fast or this incursion is unrelated to the trapping.

Of course I have my own theory about what they are doing there, in the dark, at night. Once they’ve desended from the roof directly above her bed they do their favorite mousey thing…

Before anyone says anything stupid I realize that this isn’t exactly scientific. In fact if mice can use night vision goggles then we’re pretty much screwed. I just did this to annoy my flatmate.

Sweet dreams Ellisaurus…

 

*UPDATE* The mice special opps forces took a double hit last night. The flatmate bought a handful more mouse traps to add to the large handful that we had already bought and we set up an iron curtain of anti-mouse hateful goodness. Come morning, the world was populated by two less mice.
