quote [ Here's the story: About 13 miles from this spindle of rock, there's a bigger island, called Lord Howe Island.
On Lord Howe, there used to be an insect, famous for being big. It's a stick insect, a critter that masquerades as a piece of wood, and the Lord Howe Island version was so large ? as big as a human hand ? that the Europeans labeled it a "tree lobster" because of its size and hard, lobsterlike exoskeleton. It was 12 centimeters long and the heaviest flightless stick insect in the world. Local fishermen used to put them on fishing hooks and use them as bait. ] these look like ants on extra hard mode.

Pretty old article, I remember seeing this a few years ago.
But I guess if our esteemed manager feels a two-year old screed by Mike Tyson is post-worthy, that's where the bar has been set. |

Since the -1 Old mod (like pretty much all the other negative mods) are otherwise just sitting there unused, I shall wear it as a badge of honor.

It would be an interesting experiment. I'll bet it ends up with a +3 or better.

Clearly they just need to introduce cats to the island to eliminate the rats.

That's one of the better NPR stories I've read in a while.

So I guess you haven't read to many NPR stories in the past three years.

The struggle in that video was one part painful and one part satisfying to watch.
