Spider Crickets???
So. Spiders. I have a long standing tentative truce with spiders in which I don't kill them and they don't lay eggs in my mouth while I sleep. I'm on the fence on whether or not the truce includes these:

Bunnies
Submitted by: Michelle, inadvertently
Bunnies. Rabbits. Wabbits. Whatever you wish to call them, seem to be a perfectly normal animal and therefore not subject to the hard hitting exposes of this blog. That is a false statement. Bunnies are indeed weird, and there are no hard hitting exposes to be found anywhere on this blog.
Over the weekend, a friend got a (very cute) boy rabbit (who "boxed" me). He seemed so nice and friendly at the shelter, and just needed to be spayed before going to his new home. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always been under the impression that spaying/neutering curtails any aggressive tendencies and "urges" (keep it classy animalsareweird.blogspot.com). When my dog was neutered, she was very docile for the next few weeks. The exact opposite is happening with this particular bunny. He is (so I've been told) quite enamored with a paper towel roll (and presumably anything else to come his way) and hyper-amorous (new scientific term! That I made up...). I don't recall hearing a warning about this sort of behavior at the shelter. At all. Basically, what I'm trying to say is, bunnies are at the top of the Pervert Food Chain in the Animal Kingdom (our future overlords). Stay strong Michelle. Stay. Strong.
To be fair, this behavior is only supposed to be temporary, but whatevs.

The epic journey of the bar-tailed godwit.
To summarize, this bird flew 7,200 miles NON STOP. What have you done today?

Ape Attack Force
As detailed over at Humans Are Weird, humans as a species just need to be destroyed. It's over guys, give it up. Here is Step 1 in the Animal Kingdoms takeover:
Chimp on a Segway
They will move on to tanks soon enough, while wearing adorable military uniforms.
Humanity's defense against our future Planet of the Apes? This Guy. Until apes can tie their own ties, they can never hope to rule in a classy fashionable way.

Fruit Flies
Submitted by: Bananas, Apples
Fruit flies are jerks for flying around your food, yet are useful as mobile visual indicators that your home isn't as clean as it should be. Are they less gross than the types of flies who like poop and cadavers? No they are more gross, because you should have fruit in your home but not stray poop or cadavers.
