Apparently, I like rebellion in any form because this is my favorite news story of the week:

Angry bored octopus goes wilding

Ghostbusters Game Is So Lifelike, It's Spooky - I may need to get because I only saw the movie 15+ times in the theatre.

Deal: Amazon’s 15 Days 15 Deals TV on DVD Sale!

...but I'm stumbling across a lot of goodness on the web this morning.

20 (More) Strange and Exotic Endangered Species - these are not photoshopped at all. Yes, you'll freak out. Bugophobic people probably shouldn't look.

Alternate Currency - xkcd strikes again.

Two tee shirts, a party invitation and talking fish - Neil Gaiman shows off shirts for CBLDF. I want the first one badly, though the Hellboy one isn't bad. Also, they are reissuing the Vertigo Tarot deck for The Sandman anniversary. Yes, I want.

If you're not following Kawaii Not on LJ, you're missing out.

If Christmas Presents Were Honest by Holy Taco

Mercenaries, Sonic Blasters No Match for Pirates - if you build a better mousetrap, you only make a smarter mouse.

Psychopaths have an eye for the underdog - kind of a scary office environment experiment

I never discuss bathroom behavior on my LJ, but I feel we've been friends long enough to move into such mundane subjects. Last night, as I emptied my bladder before bed, I noticed an ant on the tile floor. Typically, I wouldn't have noticed this very small ant, but Black Kitty was sitting near by and NOT attacking. Black Kitty attacks everything and often, whether it actually exists or not, much to White Boo Boo Kitty’s dismay. Anyway, the ant marched towards the corner where the tub meets the wall – the corner where all the little fun bits of crud collected.

Before it could hit any grime, a spider dropped from its imperceptible web and snatched the ant up. Lifting the wee bug only an eighth of the inch off the floor, if that, the spider moved close and did something I couldn’t see to make the ant stop struggling. The spider couldn't have been bigger than the ant if it tried.

It was the teeny, tinniest Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom I'd ever seen.

Early that day, I ended up writing a poem about the baby spiders on the car windshield. I have to rework it and see if it's any good for Don't Look before you can read it, but I couldn’t help but wonder: Is the Universe trying to tell me something? What is it about itsy bitsy spiders that I should suddenly notice them so easily?

Or am I just a complete self-centered prat for believing the Universe wants to talk to me at all?
