It pays to be well hung, if you’re a rat

This has to belong in the “well duh” file.
Well-hung males may enjoy an evolutionary advantage over their less well-endowed competitors - in certain rodents, anyway. The finding may help answer the vexing question of why penis size is so variable among mammals.
It pays to be well hung, if you’re a rat - sex - 26 [...]

Crown Hill Cemetery

Crown Hill Cemetery is trying to sell about 70 acres of land along the northern edge of their property. About a quarter of that property is wetlands.
Indianapolis real estate developer Mann Properties has agreed to pay $5.6 million for the land, provided it can obtain rezoning from the Metropolitan Development Commission. Mann wants to build [...]

sometimes a sarcastic comment isn’t even necessary

Taken on a snowy day in Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis. I definitely did a double take when I first saw this.

big brother in the school

My perspective on a lot of issues like this have changed over the last 5 years, since becoming a step-parent of a kid who is now a full-fledged teenager. But in most cases my perspective is simply more nuanced than it was in the past. This just seems like a really bad idea. Why is [...]

Might have more of the same tomorrow, [...]

fun with buddha guy

A random photo from being stuck home alone today. Feeling too good to stay stuck in bed, not good enough to go in to work. Bored of daytime TV, looking for random things to take pictures of.

phishing scams

In general, phishing scams that purport to come from a bank or credit card company have been getting more realistic looking over the last little while. But there are exceptions, like the one I got today claiming to be from a bank that I’ve never done business with (although it is local to where I [...]

yoga booty ballet

Home sick today, and the things I miss out on when I work regular hours during the week. Things like daytime infomercials. I just caught the tail end of one that caught my eye: something called “yoga booty ballet“.
It seems like a typical cardio workout series, with spandex clad stepford models getting in touch with [...]
