Your daily dose of OMG!

[herzverstreut_bu]

So, I was taking a break from (so far fruitlessly) browsing job offers and reading OTF Wank, where they were talking about some post about spiders and then went off on a tangent about centipedes and someone posted a link to a video of a giant centipede eating a mouse. Everyone was squicked out.

Me? I went "OMG So awesome! Ok, I feel sorry for the mouse, but that's nature for you, and OMG GIANT CENTIPEDE SO COOL I WANT ONE!! ♥ ♥ ♥" I think they shall now be my third-favourite insect-ish thing, right behind spiders* and praying mantis...ses? And stick insects. Ok, my fourth-favourite. Insects are love.

If you don't mind big crawly things, watch the video here. BEWARE: It's one fucking huge centipede, and one cute, terrified, poor little mousie. If you're not sure you can take that, better don't click. But the centipede is so, so pretty.

*Yes, I know that a spider is not an insect.

;)) Oh, I like koalas and wallabies, too. Every animal and insect that doesn't bite me, sting me or contaminate my food is a friend of mine. ♥

*shakes head* I told you not to look if you're squeamish! ;-p

(Don't worry, the weird insects will all be at my place, happy to have found someone who loves them. :)) )

;)) If you're not an insect person, not touching the vid is a wise decision.

No problem. :X:X

And the icons are simply gorgeous. Your style is always so rich and colourful, and yeah, I love.

That is so. Fucking. Cool. DUDE.

I didn't even know there WERE centipedes that huge. That's amazing. Ahaha. It's so cool-looking

Me, I've always wanted a boa constrictor. THEY'RE SO CUTE! And they feel so cool, all soft and warm, and you can feel their muscles contracting under the surface. I love snakes. ^__^ But in the past I've always had pet cats, so I'd be nervous to have a boa hanging around. And I wouldn't want to have it ALWAYS locked up in its tank... I'd want to be able to let it out sometimes. ONE OF THESE DAYS. When I have my own snake-safe apartment, and no cats. And also when I have enough money to keep the thing fed. Heehee.

Me neither! When they were talking about a centipede eating a mouse I was all "Yeah, sure, I bet that was a manip" and then they posted the video and it's so BIG and PRETTY!

Me, I've always wanted a boa constrictor.
Snakes are totally awesome! (Should you ever get one, make sure your neighbours are ok with it (or don't tell them *lol*) A neighbour of my aunt's had snakes (not even boas or anything, just some smaller ones) and she and some others freaked so much that he gave them away. *facepalm*)

that squicked me out just from reading your description. No way I'm clicking on that link, ever.
