Pika actually...
Something of a strange mix of a rabbit and a mouse that makes an 'eeeep!' sound...

To TJ my own thread
I just noticed something really annoying with firefox - you can't drag pictures out of the browser into Paint Shop Pro (or mspaint) like you can with IE - it just says "The specified file cannot be identified as a supported type". Arse.

There
was a sign outside my work today
It said, simply, "Warning!!! Bees"
It's fairly self-explanatory

What were the bee's doing?
Were they digging up the road again? I hate when they do that.
Little buzzy f*ckers

There
was a nest/hive/whatever of bees that had taken up residence on the gatepost just outside the front entrance. It was all terribly exciting.
At least it wasn't wasps. Wasps hate me and take every available opportunity to try and kill me.

and richard feynman was a top guy... 'surely you're joking mr feynman' was the book that made me realise science could be worth reading about... i know it's not science itself but i needed faith in the people involved before i'd spend my time on it...

And there's the wonderful story
Involving him visiting pole dancing clubs and taking his sketchbook (for he was quite a good draughtsman) with him.
Only he wasn't drawing the girls. He was drawing the expressions of the men who were looking at the girls.
And for that alone - Feynman is a god.

Speaking of pole dancing
did you see the story in the "newspapers" this week about the pole dancer who has had to retire as she has discovered she is allergic....
... to chrome-plated poles.

Bit like Jade Johnson
The British long jumper, who is allergic to sand...
I have to give a lot of credit to the girls who pole dance - aside from the erotic value, the sheer athletisism that goes into pole dancing is pretty amazing... The warm up is sit ups, but half way up the pole...
