If you're right about the color I'm disappointed. I was hoping for stripes. Or maybe polka dots like a tortoise-shell cat. ? You know, I'm not sure how it works. Cats have pet humans to care for them when their natural coloring makes it hard to hunt in the wild. Lemmings that easily spotted are more likely to end up as lunch. Even we blue lemmings blend in to our naturally icy environs. That and we've evolved the intelligence to use camouflage. Who do you think really runs the companies that make camo clothing?

worik Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Mr. Lemmingway, a rather serious matter at hand: In theory: Let's say you have been honored for a noble deed and been given a precious sword of devine power. Now, we often tend to put these "throphies" on our walls to bathe every day in our previous heroism. Spoiler In practical terms: Putting Merida's Dawnbreaker at the wall next to my bed. Yes, I can get rid of the candles and won't need to buy new ones ever again to have a light. And I can bathe in the memories of my heroic deeds even while I sleep. But overall, is that a useful place for this artifact?

The First Lady of Hats Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Lemming! I moved from a tiny house Well, cottage. Where you couldn't wander five steps without tripping over absolutely everything at least three times on yer way to the fridge. To a really big house that's far far too bloody big. So Imma trying to think of stupid and amusing things to do with the extra rooms I don't use. Whats in YOUR house?/Hole?/Den?/Warren? I need ideas or imma just fill it with fridges full o' beer again D:< Also I want a snekk but the missis won't let me, how do I convince womans that we absolutley definitley need a snekk and it is vital to our future welbeing and survival?
Ernest Lemmingway Posted August 29, 2018 Author Posted August 29, 2018 Well, one room I have is filled with bondage furniture as well as a stainless steel floor with a drain. That one only gets used on special occasions. Actually I haven't even done anything with it other than hose the dust out for at least a year now. Another is a dedicated media room where the temperature is kept low and a high-quality air filter is run (electronics run hot and attract dust like kids attract dirt). I can't recommend that unless you've got a heap 'o money to spend, which I used to have. Until I furnished that room. Now I can't even afford to get many DVDs to watch unless they're in the bargain bin. And there's a reason they wind up there. Then there's the Panic Room. Not a room with security features you can lock yourself into in case of an emergency, a room where I go to panic. Especially when those flying monkeys start coming out of my butt after I eat some of Moose's magic mushrooms. I padded the walls and floor pretty heavily, then laid down some plastic sheeting. Those damned monkeys always fling poop everywhere and it's impossible to get out of cloth. I know that now. ? I don't do snekks, myself. But consider the Norwegian brown rat. Pesky little devils that get into your food, spread disease, and cause serious damage when they gnaw through your walls and even your electrical wiring. The little buggers are responsible for countless house fires every year and breed like...well, rats! People think b...bunnies breed fast? They're amateurs compared to rats. So if you get a reptile that eats them, you'll be better off. Besides, rats compete with my Norwegian kin in the wild. There's a long-standing feud going on among the fjords. And those damned skeevers rats flourish among humans! We lemmings don't do as well unless we adopt certain practices like wearing pants, watching "reality" TV, and flipping off drivers on the road. That last one is really hard when you don't have fingers.

Ernest Lemmingway Posted September 15, 2018 Author Posted September 15, 2018 A "mutation" in the same sense that naturally red hair in humans is a "mutation." We just sort of...happen.

Not that you're wrong but it could also mean bad mate selection (in general without necessarily inbreeding) on the part of your aunts and uncles, right? Of course, here in Kentucky, we believe that finding a date is best done at family reunions (and similar gatherings). And since I am supposed to not get political I won't mention what this seems to have done for (to?) our state and local governments.
Jazzman Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Aha! Now I know why my son is black and I'm not. In case he has a low intellect despite all my precaution to avoid inbreeding depression, I know I'm not to blame... but Mendel and his fuckin' rules of inheritance. Most folks have just a limited action scope - their mating ground - often way below 50 miles. That's genetically not a problem in urban areas but in rural areas it might easily become one in the long run, leading to regional characteristics in the phenotype... Pinocchio noses, Dumbo ears and alarming stuff alike. Oy vey!

The red algal blooms look pretty but I'm sure that has messed with their ecosystems (since they've already messed up their cooling systems).
