Car_Ramrod: She initially wanted to intercede and save the bird because she didn't want to watch it die. But it was impossible to safely get down to the lower level of the breakwater.

Let nature run its course, dummy.

Coustou knew how to interfere with nature without sounding like a wussy soccer mom. I remember watching one of his documentaries as a kid. He was filming the classic mass hatching of baby sea turtles when, as always happens, a huge flock of gulls bent on massacre descended on the hapless turts. Coustou had his crew break out shotguns and blast the farkers out of the sky while the little fellows made their escape, much to my delight.

Sometimes ya gotta say, "Fark nature!" Those feathered poop dispensers will not be missed.

Morneau has fast reactions because she's a stayat-home mom.

I have straight teeth because I'm a software engineer.

Octopuses (octopi?) are just cool.

Sorry, seagull.

That's how it should be every time.

Klom Dark: Is that all the bigger a 'giant' octopus gets? I was pretty underwhelmed. I was expecting something that would put the fear of Cthulthu in me, not that dinky thing...

You mean something more like this?



/"An giant"?
//Really, subby?

On one hand, I hate seagulls and think they are disgusting, filthy pests. On the other hand, I really enjoy eating octopus. Verdict: I would have a tough time eating an octopus I knew had eaten a seagull.
