An idea I got from the "Thread for depressed people". Somebody posted a pic of a really cute kitty in there, which inexplicably cheered me up so much....


So show 'em folks. I'd like to see pics of cute and cuddly animals to brighten up this dull, grey day

Crazy! I was planning to make a thread like this because of the Puppies vs. kittens thread!

Cute animals that appeared on that thread:
Kitten!http://gronnevik.se/rjukan/uploads/Main/cute_kitten.p.jpg

Baby kiwis!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/Chimeran/OMGKiwi.jpg

Baby sloth! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v50/wasteofpaint01/sloth.jpg

Silky anteater! http://www.harding.edu/USER/plummer/WWW/animphys/INDEX_files/image005.jpg

Aaaand... I'm too lazy to get the others!

This one (http://photobucket.com/albums/v667/Kazcaper/?action=view&current=Christmas2004043.jpg) is of my dog (left) and my cousin's dog last Christmas*

And this (http://photobucket.com/albums/v667/Kazcaper/?action=view&current=Christmas2004010.jpg) is my boyfriend's sister's dog, Toby

*Sadly, my cousin's dog died just over a week ago :(

Edit: Here's (http://photobucket.com/albums/v667/Kazcaper/?action=view&current=DaveDebbiesWedding001.jpg) the cat that visits my boyfriend's house almost daily.

And here's (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v414/HomoSpaghettios/GayMessiahBlog/fluffy_penguin.jpg) a cute fluffy penguin and baby seal (http://www.hedweb.com/animimag/sealpup.jpg), just cos I love them :)

:fluffle: Cabra, this is a great idea

The story is a little long, and I feel like I've told it too often, but my nickname (given, I never decided it) is Walrus. And this is the most amusing Walrus image that comes up-

Great pic! Lol. I love walruses (walri? walrae?)!
The question plagues me as well. They are kinda cool, and having it as a nickname isn't that bad-it doesn't give the impression that I'm trying to be cool or anything. It does imply that I'm a bigger Beatles fan than I really am, but I can live with it.
This is not my baby picture-

Even I know thats wrong. I need to see the human behind that similarly introduced to a coffin.

http://pics.hoobly.com/full/09f5d133256fc51dd3bfaa7856d703e3.jpg

Why is it that these animals are so cute and loveable to humans whereas human babies are all fat, bald and almost always ugly? You'd have thought we'd have an instinct to find our own species offspring the most loveable.

It's the same with crying - human baby crying is just annoying and demanding - makes people irritated at the baby, not sympathetic to it's needs. On the other hand, a dogs whining just makes me cringe with pity for it and want to help it.

Ack, I didn't know the picture would be that big and stretch the page! Sorry! I would delete or edit the post but this stupid bug with Jolt won't let me touch my own posts. If any mod would delete it i'd appreciate it >.>

An interesting side note. Do a Google image search for just about anything and if it goes for much more than five pages it's virtually a lock that it'll have a picture of someone's cat or dog in it.

Everybody's pics are so cute (well, okay, maybe not the blob-fish).

Ancient Valyria - that's exactly the kind of cat I'd like to have! (think it'll let itself be mailed to me? ;) )

And, um, Pure Metal - is that an actual photo you took of your actual cat? Because that might just be the cutest cat ever. Admit it - you just copied it from the interwebs and photoshopped the eyes to make them larger, right? ;)

Eutrusca - those are great pics, especially the one with the cat sleeping on the wire hangers. Sheesh. Cats - really, what can you say?
And what's the story with Bambi?


Btw, I cannot believe that nobody has snarked on this thread yet! This is the NS forum, right? *wonders & is shocked into silence*:eek:

No no, see, it'll be real easy: take large padded envelope, put in cat, put in cat food *duh*, pat cat on head one more time, seal envelope, punch air holes, attach stamp, send.

See? Easy! :)







Edited to add: man, now I feel bad for the cat even though I was just joking.:( My God, I'm even too soft for this thread. What am I doing in this forum again?

Because movies have budgets and time constraints. Treat the movie as a seperate entity, its own little satire on future-fascism. Sit back and enjoy.

:D It's a giant isopod.

The giant isopod is the largest known member of the isopod family. It is a carnivorous crustacean that spends its time scavenging the deep ocean floor. Food is extremely scarce at these great depths, so the isopod has adapted to eat what ever happens to fall to the ocean floor from above. It will also feed on some of the small invertebrates that live at these depths. Giant isopods are known to reach a size of over 16 inches in length and are one of the largest members of the crustacean family. These animals are very prehistoric in appearance. When threatened, the can roll themselves into a tight ball where they are protected by their strong, armor-plated shells. They have complex mouths that contain many components that work together to pierce, shred, and disembowel live or dead prey. Giant isopods are all over the world at depths of over 2000 feet.

Dunno. Maybe you should try cooking up a load of pill/sow/potato bugs, as I do believe those are some of the giant isopods close relatives.
