I also need to mention here, to free my conscience more than anything else, that once I had a goldfish, and I was drinking chocolate milk one day and I got to thinkin'...HEY! I like chocolate milk, wonder if THIS GUY likes chocolate milk...HE DIDN'T like it at ALL.

Undaunted, in college I got TWO fish and named them Sit and Spin and they went on to live a long (for a goldfish) and happy life!

Whawhawhaaat?
Okay, that settles it for me, I'll NEVER go to sleep again!!
I've got an uncontrolled fear of spiders and it's so strong I won't come near the spot where I latest saw a spider in atleast two weeks. This makes it very hard for me to do my laundry since most of the eight-legged inhabitants in our house decided to settle down there.

Otherwise I've got a gecko. His name is Lexy and he is really beautiful, he's got a pink stomach, a brown-spotted purple tail, his body is yellow with more brown spots and his head is partially green, partially yellow. He's got the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, they are completely grey!

Then I've got three cats for the moment, including all the kittens and the other cats I've had about 30 cats all together (I won't tell you all of their names). But the kittens doesn't count, so that makes it six cats.
I've also had three rats and four hamsters.

I think everybody has one of them sort of pets spider, all mine seem to be called Harry.
I used to have eight European green backed lizards, they crawl all over the place at my mum and dads house in france. One dad I saw tehm burying there eggs only for them to be dug up by the next lizard who would nudge her eggs into the same hole. So I checked that it might be illeegal to smuggal live lizards into the UK but it's not to bring the eggs back. when it happened again me and my dad picked up the discarded eggs and incubated them in lots of socks brought them home and hatched them out.
My brother let loads of the locust that we feed them escape and cause an infestation in my mum and dads estate, but they all died out in winter.

I received an e-mail from my daughter today:


Now, in my defense. I was visiting last weekend and didn't notice Anomynous in his fish bowl, I assumed he had passed away. The following morning he was happily swimming around. I made the comment "Oh, I thought he was dead." Apparently I jinxed poor Anomynous and he died 4 days later. So, we all know, Mom is to blame, right?
Anyway, may you rest in peace, Anomynous.

I've got hermit crabs!

*Hovering over the edit button with an evil glint in his eye, the Skwerl amazingly resists the urge to delete Hermit*

I've been given some Sea Monkeys, which are a variety of brine shrimp, to grow in the office. So far I've hatched out about thirty of them, and the largest are now about 10mm in length. I noticed today that some of them have already began breeding.

This will be Val's personal contribution to the Wash Replenishment Scheme. Having taken tons of shrimp out of the equation when I was a fisherman, it will be nice to be able to put a few milligrams back.

I say cook 'em Val

Poor PlasticSquirrel!

And yet they don't look anything like little people with tridents, as they do in all my old comics, so dissapointing. And ditto with the X-ray spex Val... I've given up ordering stuff from the back of comics now. Nut I might start again now there's such a thing as advertising standards, might be interesting...

Yeah I agree!


Cook them and feed Gollum precioussss!!!

But what if they`re dry and scabby? YUCK!! But I agree give them to Gollum!

Yeh someone else dwho keep's Rats, rabbits and Guinea Pigs!

I'm currently conducting an experiment testing the effect suction dredges have on the cockles that slip through their riddles. Consequently I now have in my care 400 cockles off two sandbanks, which I am keeping in two protected areas of marsh two miles from shore. I've been visiting them daily for the past two weeks.

No, that name doesn't belong to a rooster.

It is the name of the hen in that story with Tik-Tok the mechanical man.

Or was Belinda the Good Witch of the North.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!
Well, it seems that it was a good day for Tolkien addicted biologists! I also learned today that the results of my current experiment on ant behaviour seem to support one of my old, old hypotheses dealing with quite another topic... I never tested it directly, and I wanted to test it on bumblebees in a quite different test situation! Such moments are really very rewarding!

We use to let Ruby out,but she left us little 'presents', in other words the world was her toliet ground. Hehe,my bro,me and my sister would chase her for like half an hour before we could catch her. She also ate our carpet.
And when we would let her out with our cats(not a good idea ),she would go and lay next to them or on them.
We had rabbits,one use to always sleep in cushions of our seats.I dont know what happend to that rabbit but I have a pretty good idea

Oh yes Rabbits do like carpet and wallpaper. But you train them not to munch on them.

I am sorry to hear about Gandalf the Gerbil passing away.
