    I am not cool with the existence of insects, and most of the shit which lives in the ocean.

    Like this thing:

    I can't find the awesome video of that one which pulls the freakiest face after it eats a fish.

    I have no qualms with Gamestop. Especially because they gave me 2 beta codes. I guess it's because they are on a military base.

    I think the biggest predatory animals Scotland gets are wildcats (which are distinct from wild cats). They basically look like giant tabby cats with a nasty attitude.

    Also Australia's worst things are usually not particularly big or necessarily scary looking.

    Like the blue-ring octopus.
    Blue+ringed+octopus.jpg

    This mother fucker is one of the world's most venomous anythings.
    The octopus produces venom that contains tetrodotoxin, 5-hydroxytryptamine, hyaluronidase, tyramine, histamine, tryptamine, octopamine, taurine, acetylcholine, and dopamine. The major neurotoxin component of blue-ringed octopus venom was originally known as maculotoxin but was later found to be identical to tetrodotoxin,[3] a neurotoxin which is also found in pufferfish and cone snails. Tetrodotoxin blocks sodium channels, causing motor paralysis and respiratory arrest within minutes of exposure, leading to cardiac arrest due to a lack of oxygen. The toxin is created by bacteria in the salivary glands of the octopus.[4]

    There is no antivenom. To survive this you need someone to give you breathing support for like 16 hours.
    The blue-ringed octopus is currently one of the most dangerous known sea creatures and, despite its small size, carries enough venom to kill 26 adult humans within minutes. Furthermore, their bites are tiny and often painless, with many victims not realizing they have been envenomated until respiratory depression and paralysis start to set in.

    Meh, why can't GW just phase out all metal models? Plastics are so much better. this Hive Tyrant I got will need plenty of greenstuff work in the joints between pieces, since the metal warped in the mold. You don't have that problem with plastics, and they're generally a lot easier to work with.

    Oh man I so agree with you. I have a set of noise marines I have been building. I hate the mix metal/plastic model sets even more than pure metal. I have a sonic blaster which I am not certain I am going to use because I only have plastic bodies at the moment to use it with.

    alright this is annoying

    I'm trying to enter a route here and check when and where I need to take the bus

    but you can't actually just enter a place, you have to enter a bus stop

    well, I know what bus stop to get off at, but there's 25 different ones I might get on at. Why the fuck can't I just select the bus station as my starting point?

    It requires an existing install.
    But you can download the vanilla WoW installer from your accounts page on worldofwarcraft.com.
    On a fresh install, I don't even bother with DVDs, because you're going to have to patch the hell out of that shit anyway. I just download the installer.
