Didn't anyone tell her that she's not a plant?

This one is horrific - Death by Testicular Asphyxiation.

I saw Cabin in the Woods last night (liked it) but was shocked and annoyed that some dumbass chose to bring a toddler. About every 10 minutes, the child would start gabbing (not its fault). I did report it to management and they sent in two security people, but they happened to come in when the kid wasn't being disruptive.

What kind of fücked-up parent brings a toddler to a horror film!?!

Warning, NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH

What's in John's Freezer is a blog by a research veterinarian specializing in morphology of large animals who, as a result, works at a lab with a freezer full of huge dead animals that eventually get dissected in the name of research (in an intro posts he says he never discusses their sources for their research subjects for various reasons but being a legitimate research facility, they are all legal sources. Probably a fair guess that most are from zoos). He talks about the specimens, and posts photos of them.

This photo is just mind boggling. I'm normally pretty squeamish myself, but from a "holy crap, I never even THOUGHT about that, at that scale, that is amazing!" perspective this was...amazing.

Elephant intestines.

You've been warned



ETA: And, there's actually a whole documentary series on the subject in the UK, Inside Nature's Giants

Holy run on sentences Batman. I was interrupted several times while composing that last post of mine and apparently never bothered to review what I'd already written each time I returned.

Those intestines would make the world's largest sausages. Someone really needs to tell Heston Blumenthal about this.

You CAN die just from having your testicles squeezed too hard. :eek:

I'd love to see this if/when it makes it across the Atlantic. Hope it doesn't make you too squeamish.

Whale, anyone?
