Subject: SPECIAL GLOBAL — SNAKE FOUND, BUILDING REOPENS
RATTLESNAKE FOUND, BUILDING REOPENED

The Science Building has been reopened following the positive identification of a rattlesnake found at Dobbs Park as the one missing from the ISU facility.

The rattlesnake was discovered to be missing earlier today, and the Science Building was evacuated as a precautionary measure. The snake was discovered on Thursday at Dobbs Park where it had been left inside a box. After reports of the missing snake at ISU, officials were able to positively identify the snake found at Dobbs Park as the missing reptile.

Faculty, staff and students are now able to reenter the Science Building.


Someone got the muthafuckin snake back in the muthafuckin science building.





I took a lesson on early Saturday afternoon prior to my birthday cookout as to why wearing shorts on a motorcycle is a bad idea (...aside from the possibility of laying the bike down and exchanging legs for roadkill). I prefer to ride on generally infrequented country highways and paved backroads due to their relaxing nature and a broken speedometer, so thankfully I didn't have to contend with any traffic when a large insect was scooped into my shorts and then stung, bit, or stabbed with a hot poker the back of my leg TWICE. Holy hell IT HURT, and I grabbed at the back of my shorts with my left hand and held a wad of cloth and insect in my fist so as to seperate it from the opportunity to gnaw or sting its way up my leg to my ass. I must have looked completely mad as I stood up while at a trot of about 50mph and pinched the pissed-off creature with the inside of my shorts while trying to slow down and enter a set of s-curves. I squeezed it until I felt it crunch and then shook it out of the back of my shorts without getting a glimpse of it. It was all over within ten seconds, but it seemed like too long had passed before I could get my left hand back on the handlebar and pull the clutch in to downshift. That shit was for the birds...speaking of birds...another reason to stop wearing shorts on the motorcycle.


During the summer-break the creators of Lost have been running a game of sorts that offers bits of the Hanso film to give clues to the show's backstory. I gave this game a shot upon its inception, but got bored and forgot about it. Someone has pieced together all the film clips here, and it's really interesting...a must-see for Lost-ites.

Strangely enough. Could you imagine finding a cardboard box and opening it to see a rattlesnake? I'd just about shit my knickers.

Did someone steal the snake or do they think it just got out and was hanging out in a cardboard box? Or did they catch it pan handling on a freeway ramp for change? That would have even been better.

I just noticed that the article never mentions a cardboard box, so only someone easily implicated in the snake's abduction would have that knowledge if in fact it was a cardboard box. Just sayin. That is, if in fact the snake was abducted and didn't commandeer the cardboard(?) box to the park itself. For the sake of perspective, lets take a few seconds to imagine what a snake would buy with its panhandled loot.

I could say it might buy a plane ticket but we all know how this snakes on a plane scenario plays out.
I really need to get some sleep. The fact that I'm even thinking about this proves how sleep deprived i am right now.

What kind of bike do you have, man? Wish I could afford one. I went through numerous dirtbikes as a kid, but would love to have a street bike.

Closest experience I've had was a sweat bee flying up my shorts when I got out of my car and stinging me in that area between your ballsack and your leg. Talk about a surprise, and it hurt like hell.

883 sportster...I'm going to get a 1200 custom within the next couple of years if things go as planned.

'Taint your ballsack and 'taint your leg. Taint!
