Alabama Police Dogs — A beagle mother and pups look through the kennel of the tracking team out of Staton Correctional Facility in Elmore, Ala., on Thursday, June 6, 2013. The Department of Corrections maintains eight teams of dogs for tracking purposes across the state and one K-9 drug-detecting team at Easterling Correctional Facility in Clio, said Brian Corbett, spokesman for the prison system. The purpose of the K-9 units is to track escaped inmates and conduct searches for wanted persons. (AP Photo/Montgomery Advertiser, Amanda Sowards)

Movie premiere tonight in Dallas (synched with New York’s opening) - AMAZING!!!!

Peacock Mantis Shrimp — He’s Baaaaack!

Tiny, deadly and gorgeous. That’s the peacock mantis shrimp, and we just placed one on exhibit in our Splash Zone galleries.

You’ll have to work a bit to see it. It’s housed — alone — in a small aquarium inside the Coral Crawl tunnel in Splash Zone. But it’s well worth the effort!

This is the first time we’ve hosted a  mantis shrimp since 2001 when one of them stowed away inside some coral rock and earned us international headlines and live CNN coverage. (There’s something compelling about a “killer shrimp” terrorizing other animals in the children’s area of an internationally known aquarium.)

They pack quite a punch

Since then, we’ve been wary of deliberately introducing a mantis shrimp — and for good reason. Aquarists and scuba divers refer to them as “thumb-splitters” because their claws pack a punch as powerful as a .22-caliber bullet.

Those same claws can shatter a clam shell, and crack open a crab or shatter glass. They can bring down a blue-ringed octopus or a fish. The claws are made of a material so hard it can deliver 50,000 blows between molts - without breaking. It’s being studied by scientists as a model for crafting super-strong body armor for soldiers.

And it moves its claws so fast that they turn water into plasma and sound into light.

Amazing!

“A thermonuclear bomb of light and beauty”

But that’s not the end of the story, as celebrated cartoonist Matthew Inman of The Oatmeal explains in his online love-letter, “Why the mantis shrimp is my new favorite animal.”

He starts by examining the eyes that make them unbelievably effective hunters. Their vision is so sensitive that a mantis shrimp can see in both infrared and ultraviolet spectra, and uses 16 color receptor cones (compared to just three for humans).

Inman observes: “Where we see a rainbow, the mantis shrimp sees a thermonuclear bomb of light and beauty.”

It’s that combination of experiencing a world of transcendent beauty — and then turning around and pounding its prey to smithereens — that fascinates Matthew Inman.

We hope you’ll be fascinated, too, at the chance to see a peacock mantis shrimp face to face — on the other side of shatterproof acrylic.

This is pretty cool and eye-opening. I wish someone would do this sort of thing with male 6-pack ab models. 

They even Photoshopped the woman behind Selena’s arm, because apparently not only do celebrities have to be thin, but they must also only associate with other thin people…

Enrico Francis has been caught

This pisses me off so incredibly much!

This is ridiculous. And disgusting. beautiful people being photoshopped to fit impossible standards AND most of the non-caucasian women are being white washed so they look more “appealing” 

this. 

makes.

me.

SO ANGRY. I can’t find the words to say just exactly what I feel about this…gahhhhhh just no. 

AND THEY FUCKING PHOTOSHOPPED OUT “ELTON JOHN AIDS FOUNDATION” FOR THIS ENRICO FRANCIS DUDE HOLY FUCK

It is always good to remember that you can be lied to in pictures…

It comes out in Three Weeks and One Day from now.

You can get wallpaper-type pictures like the one I just posted here from http://harpercollins.tumblr.com/post/39385630052/have-a-happy-neil-gaiman-year

I just checked and it’s not quite in the Amazon.com top 100 yet, but almost. Which is pretty good for a book that will not be published for three weeks.

And I am starting to get pre-publication jitters. What if nobody likes it? What if nobody buys it? What if WE ARE ALL DOOMED? 

Probably we are all doomed.

Please — in three weeks and one day, anyway — buy my book. And then read it. And then like it. And then, if you liked it, tell other people to read it.
